Here’s your chance to see behind the scenes in Vernon.
Jim Elderton, a local documentary filmmaker, shows three of his films Monday at the Vernon Towne Cinema.
At 5:15 p.m. is Caroline’s Rock, which looks at the challenges Caroline Ramersdorfer faced over funding and the installation of a sculpture outside of the Performing Arts Centre.
“Even after a donation ensured the completion, it was uncertain whether the resulting plinth could dry quickly enough for the added 15 tons of marble,” said Elderton.
Next on the screen will be Curtain Call, which follows Olympian Camille Martens’ Cirque Theatre and its production of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
Elderton covered production development for about two months.
“I filmed considerable footage back stage and covered the show itself from three camera positions,” he said.
At 7:45 p.m., the theatre will feature Sveva Imprisoned.
It looks at Vernon artist Sveva Caetani, who controlled by her mother and rejected by the arts community.
“It was officially selected for the Women’s International Film Festival in Miami,” said Elderton.
“This version incorporates a new digital transfer of the Caetani archive footage, allowing several shots never seen before.”
Tickets are available at the Bean Scene at the Towne Cinema.
