The Salt Path
Showing on Friday November 27th at 7pm (doors and concession open at 6:30pm)
Running Time: 1hr 55m / Year: 2024/ 14A
Production: UK
Directed by Marianne Elliott
The Salt Path is the story of a couple’s 630-mile trek along the beautiful but rugged Cornish, Devon and Dorset coastline. After being forcibly removed from their home, they make the desperate decision to walk in the hope that, in nature, they will find solace and a sense of acceptance. A portrayal of how we think of a home, how it can be lost and rediscovered in the most unexpected ways.
*This film is adapted from Raynor Winn’s 2018 bestselling memoir of the same name which has since met controversy. The author presented her book as being a true story, it is now questioned whether it is truth or fiction. Regardless of this, the film and the story it tells is a beautiful one.

Our Story
The HUB Film Club is a community cinema here at the HUB at Cowichan Station. Started in May of 2016, our aim is to bring people of all ages together over good films and of course, popcorn! Films screen on the fourth Friday of every month (except July & August) and we invite you to be a part of it.
We show an eclectic program of films; both classic and new, Canadian and international, for families and for adults. We have access to new theatrical releases approximately 4 months after their 1st run in professional theatres. All proceeds go to support the wonderful, volunteer-run community centre that is the HUB.

Cowichan Valley Documentary Film Festival
*There will not be a festival in 2026, look for it’s continuation in 2027!
Begun in 2024, enjoy a weekend of documentary films in March. The festival is a new endeavour for the Film Club!
Scroll down for more information.
Thank you to everyone for coming along to the..
2nd annual Cowichan Valley Documentary Film Festival in 2025
Look for it’s continuation in 2027.
The Film Festival happens in March of any given year. In 2025 we screened a wide variety of films, including local filmmaker Michelle Tremblay’s new film about community supported fishery in the Cowichan region and a film everyone should see, the award-winning Sugarcane. The festival concession provided delicious food and baking and it was great to see people having a good time together!
All of it would not be possible without the great attendance, the wonderful volunteers and our 2025 sponsors - Dinter Nursery, the Valley Voice, the National Film Board of Canada, and of course a place to hold the festival - The HUB at Cowichan Station.
We hope to see you in 2027 for more Docs on the big screen. Thank you for helping to make this community fundraising event a success!
