Movieola Movie Night is New
at the 16th Annual Junction Arts Festival

"A Classic Evening under the Stars" with "Silver Screen Classics"
Thursday, September 4, 2008

Toronto, ON, August 25, 2008 – The Junction Arts Festival (September 3 to 7, 2008 in Toronto), produced by the Junction Forum for Art & Culture, presents a cultural multi-arts extravaganza like no other and the free outdoor Movieola Movie Night, taking place on Thursday, September 4 (7:00 p.m. – 10:00 p.m.), is an all new feature of the 2008 celebration.

Now attracting 150,000 visitors annually, the Junction Arts Festival, which practices and encourages reducing, reusing and recycling throughout the entire festival location, is set to throw the party of the year as the Junction celebrates its centennial of becoming the City of West Toronto in 1908.

The 2008 Junction Arts Festival proudly showcases Movieola Movie Night, sponsored by Channel Zero Inc. (broadcaster for Movieola – The Short Film Channel and Silver Screen Classics), in the Junction City Square (2960 Dundas Street West and Pacific Avenue), where movie goers can sit under the stars and watch three hours of the brightest of Hollywood's actors in classic black and white short films from the golden era of movie making.

States Junction Arts Festival Executive Director Michael Menegon, "We're excited to welcome Channel Zero Inc.'s Silver Screen Classics to their new home office in the Junction (on Dundas Street West) and to the celebration this year. Even though film has always been a part of the festival, we hope that this is the beginning of a new tradition together."

For one night only, viewers will see shorts featuring slapstick comedy greats including The Three Stooges, Keystone Cops, Buster Keaton, Our Gang, Stan Laurel and Charlie Chaplin, and children can participate in hand-painting on the "Silver Screen Classics Wall of Fame" as well as meet up with King Kong and the Marx Brothers characters.
