The Countryfest Community Cinema is holding a one night only free show tomorrow.
The film, “Long Time Running”, is about Gord Downie and the Tragically Hip’s farewell tour and is being shown for National Canadian Film Day.
Ron Suchoplas, General Manager of the cinema, explains why the Tragically Hip is important to him and part of why they chose this documentary.
“Growing up back in the days when you’d do the bar hops in Dauphin; it’s one of those things walking into the bar and one of the first things you’d hear there or in your car on the radio. We didn’t have the privilege of everything online at the time; a lot of the music that had the most influence on me was what I heard on the radio or in the bar. Some of the key songs of theirs were a lot of the closing songs of the night.”
The show starts at 7:00 in the evening, is free, and is first come first serve with only 105 tickets available.
