More than 26 years after he started organizing free film screenings in Victoria, B.C., Bruce Saunders has had to call it quits. Saunders launched Movie Monday after spending time at the Royal Jubilee Hospital, where he was being treated for depression. While there, he discovered a 100-seat auditorium in the Eric Martin Pavilion which sparked the idea of screening films for patients and ex-patients. Saunders stopped screenings nearly a year ago when concerns around COVID-19 began to rise. It isn't the end of Saunders' sharing his love of film; he plans to share film recommendations on the Movie Monday website and for people on his email list moving forward.
