JHSSA is pleased to be able to participate in Jewish Book Fair. Drawing on their recently published book, REEL TIME: Movie Exhibitors and Movie Audiences in Prairie Canada 1896 to 1986, Robert and Tamara Seiler will discuss the history of movie exhibition in Calgary, focusing in particular on the central role played by members of Calgary’s Jewish community in turning theatrical movie exhibition into a major commercial enterprise, thereby shaping the leisure time activities of generations of moviegoers, in Calgary and well beyond.
