Cinematheque: Toronto on Film

Not music related, mostly, but worth noting for folks interested in things local. Cinematheque has their fall season schedule up, and one of their programmes is entitled "Toronto on Film", a series of movies shot and set in Toronto — something we generally don't get to see enough of. The Last Pogo does satisfy on the musical front, and would be weirdly satisfyin' to see in the high-falootin' atmosphere of Jackman Hall. Similarly, I'm pretty jazzed at the prospect of seeing Videodrome up on the big screen. Videodrome, people! Also of note: the rather delightful I’ve Heard the Mermaids Singing, and EMPz 4 Life by the late documentary master Allan King.

Also of note, local, and tangentially related to this site is a free screening entitled Eleven in Motion, a series of new, short animated films inspired by the works of Painters Eleven. Mark November 11 down in your calendars.¹
