How many movies are you going to see at this month's Toronto International Film Festival?

This year TIFF will host the North American premiere of Victor Ginzburg's film Generation P, under TIFF's cutting-edge Vanguard banner and in cooperation with Kino Art Festival (Russian Film Festival based in Toronto).

After the fall of communism in Russia a young advertising executive seeks inspiration from hallucinogenic drugs and uses a ouija board to summon the spirit of Che Guevara for advice.

Call for Participation at the Junction Community Meet and Greet

Hello Junction Community,

As you probably know, the Junction Arts Festival has been cancelled this year.

I had arranged to have a Toronto Public Library tent and have decided to keep that reservation. I am planning to have a "community meet and greet" that day here on the Annette Street Library lawn from 1 - 4 pm the day the Festival would have been, Saturday September 10.

We will have some activities for children and promote the programs happening at Annette Street and further afield in the Toronto Public Library. I welcome you to join us to promote your community activism / group / activities.

The West Toronto Junction Historical Society is planning to put up their tent as well.

I am very open to other ideas for the day.

I hope you'll consider joining us for some or all of the time; please let me know if you would like to attend and if you would like to do any kind of presentation/program.

Thanks very much,

Pam Mountain
