Inspired by True Stories: The Manor — North American Premiere
About this Event
Join us for the North American Premiere of The Manor, a heartwarming feature film inspired by true stories.
Blending humour with everyday life, The Manor follows three families as they navigate challenges, relationships, and moments of change. Featuring actors with intellectual disabilities and cerebral palsy, the film offers a chance to step into perspectives we may not often encounter and perhaps reflect on how small actions can make a difference in the lives of others.
Before the feature presentation, audiences will enjoy a curated showcase of international short films from around the world as part of the West Coast Mini Film Festival 2026. The audience will also have the opportunity to vote for the Audience Favourite Award
Your ticket includes:
• International Short Film Program
• Audience Favourite Award Voting
• North American Premiere Screening of The Manor
• Limited Edition Vancouver On Ink Anniversary Issue
• Limited Edition Community Sticker Sheet featuring artwork created by six artists for our community
