Clairtone explores the remarkable rise and fall of the Clairtone Sound Corporation — the audacious mid-century Canadian electronics company founded by Peter Munk and David Gilmour, whose visionary stereo and television designs became international symbols of sophistication, modernity, and cultural cool.
However, within seven years of its meteoric ascent, Clairtone crashed spectacularly, undone by over-expansion, government ambition, and the shifting tides of consumer taste.

*Please take note that doors open 30 minutes before showtimes. We encourage people to arrive early. We have a small box office, a small candy bar, and a single-screen cinema, meaning that when most of an audience shows up a few minutes before showtime, it causes a bottleneck. If possible, we appreciate you arriving a little bit early to pick out your seat and get your popcorn. Thanks for your help!

Canadian electronics company Clairtone finds a successful niche producing high-end modernist stereo systems before succumbing to hard economic realities.
