Chocolat the Movie





"WHAT do you see?" That was the question asked on Wednesday night at John Lawson Park as people gathered with blankets, chairs and flashlights to watch Juliette Binoche and Johnny Depp in "Chocolat" the movie. A huge rear-screen projector, provided by Pro Show, was set-up for the event which was all part of West Van's Harmony Arts Festival. There wasn't a bad seat in the house as the sun set on a perfect evening and the show started. It was a fabulous idea that Harmony Arts organizers vow to repeat each year hereafter. So if you enjoyed it, why not drop them a line of praise in support.
