SYNOPSIS
Artist Matt Furie, creator of the controversial comic character Pepe the Frog, begins an uphill battle to reclaim his iconic cartoon image from those who turned it into a symbol of hate. The Sundance Award-winning documentary is a funny, trippy, and thought-provoking film about how the Internet transformed an unlucky cartoon frog, and then the rest of the world.

"FEELS GOOD MAN offers an inside peek at the internet’s growing ability to affect and shape modern society, which often makes the film a nightmare about extremism and technology." – Variety

"A vital document of our new language of meme culture." –  RogerEbert.com

STAY IN YOUR CAR

Alberta Health Services rules state that you must stay in your vehicle for the entire duration of the event. While there will be a washroom on site, we ask that you plan ahead and only use it if necessary. AHS has identified public washrooms as a high-risk place for transmission, so we ask where possible you limit the spread. Washrooms will be one at a time, and if there is a line up social distancing will be strongly enforced. Masks are mandatory when you are out of your vehicle. Follow all posted rules and regulations and return to your vehicle immediately after.

VEHICLE SIZE RESTRICTIONS IN PLACE 

To ensure proper site-lines, please don’t rock up in a motor-home, RV or passenger van. If your vehicle is over-sized, such as a truck, you’ll be directed to park near the back of the lot. 

WASHROOMS

In accordance with AHS guidelines, a washroom will be available on site. The washrooms are single-use, please keep two metres apart.

PARKING 

More details about when the lot will open and instructions about how to enter will be emailed out in advance of the event. Our staff and volunteers will guide you to park your car in a set spot. When exiting please be patient as the cars need to exit single file.

WEATHER 

Unless there are extreme winds, we are able to proceed with our drive-in screens, even if it rains. If the event is cancelled we will send an email to all ticketholders and reschedule it for another date. We know the weather can change in a minute. If you need to use your heat, windshield wipers or AC during the screening, please do not idle your vehicle.
