MONOVA is launching a new free, monthly movie night for young adults at the Museum of North Vancouver.
It’s a new year at MONOVA and with it, we’re excited to launch new programming at the Museum of North Vancouver! Designed for young adults, MONOVA’s Museumflix program is bringing locally filmed movies to new audiences, free of charge.
Join us at the Museum of North Vancouver (115 West Esplanade) on the last Thursday of every month from January to May 2023 for a FREE movie night highlighting feature films and local works filmed all or mostly in North Vancouver.
You might be surprised to learn some of your favourite movies have a connection to your own backyard!
Doors open at 5:30 pm, with films running from 6:00 pm to 9:00 pm with a short intermission.
Participate in fun film trivia for the potential to win a $25 gift card to the MONOVA Museum Store. While this event is open to all ages, 19+ and two pieces of ID are required for cash/card bar.
The Winter-Spring 2023 theme will be North Shore Cinema Series I: Discovery. The program and accompanying monthly sub-themes are listed below.

In the near future, cloning is now technically advanced, but human cloning is still illegal. Adam Gibson (Schwarzenegger) returns home after working with his friend Hank Morgan (Rapaport), only to find a clone of himself with his family. Before he has chance to find out the truth, he is attacked by a group who want him dead. Adam must escape and find out the truth from the creator of the clones, Michael Drucker (Goldwyn). Adam knows for sure he couldn’t have been cloned, but isn’t ready for what he’s about to hear.
The NeverEnding Story (1984) – 1h 42m, PG-13 for frightening and intense scenes
Bastian is a young boy who lives a dreary life being tormented by school bullies. On one such occasion he escapes into a book shop where the old proprieter reveals an ancient story-book to him, which he is warned can be dangerous. Shortly after, he “borrows” the book and begins to read it in the school attic where he is drawn into the mythical land of Fantasia, which desperately needs a hero to save it from destruction.
