We had a couple of surprise guests in the building at Sunday's closing performance of, A Streetcar Named Desire 👀

We invite you to join us for our monthly community movie nights! Expanding on our love of stories, each month will feature a new staff selection responding to a theme, whether it’s a season, a moment in culture, or a show on stage.  Our upcoming screening is next Tuesday, July 23. "Something You Said Last Night" follows an unemployed trans girl in her mid-twenties, and her Italian-Canadian family on a weeklong summer vacation in a small conservative beach town. Tensions mount as the co-dependent family test each other’s limits and cross one another’s boundaries. Beautifully shot on 35mm film, "Something You Said Last Night" explores the dynamics of the family unit and the ways in which we fail to see members of our families for who they are. The debut feature film from Toronto writer and director Luis De Filippis was named to TIFF's annual year-end Canada's Top Ten list for 2022.

Saluting Mengesha’s “brilliant vision” in making the DuBois girls half-sisters, Dickson delights in “this yummy dynamic of at once being cut from the same cloth as Blanche, but also being able to really see Stanley and relate to his other-ness.” In this way, her Stella has a vibrant connection to Black culture: “In a lot of ways, Stella feels more at home in New Orleans ‘slumming’ it in [the Kowalskis’ street] Elysian Fields, because there she can just be who she is.” And with Stanley and Stella’s neighbours being Black folks, “we see that Stella has found her own place in the world where she can actually exhale that struggle of two worlds colliding within her. That is, until her sister arrives.” https://lnkd.in/g7Jieizu
