Discover the remarkable story of Clairtone Sound Corp., the ambitious Canadian electronics company that made Pictou County, Nova Scotia, the centre of its bold vision for the future.

Acclaimed director Ron Mann’s Clairtone explores the meteoric rise and dramatic fall of the company founded by Peter Munk and David Gilmour in 1958. Renowned for its beautifully designed hi-fi stereos and colour TVs, Clairtone became an international symbol of innovation and modernity.
The company’s most pivotal chapter took place right here in Pictou County, where a state-of-the-art manufacturing plant opened in 1966 amid great excitement—before the company’s fortunes came crashing down.

Narrated by Nina Munk, Peter Munk’s daughter, Clairtone tells the fascinating story of a company that dared to dream big.

Following the screening, stay for a special Q&A with director Ron Mann and narrator Nina Munk as they reflect on Clairtone’s lasting legacy in Nova Scotia and beyond.

Don’t miss this unique opportunity to explore a compelling piece of Canadian and local history! Mark your calendars for August 4th
