Ryerson Image Centre - Snapshots from San Francisco

A fascinating exhibit of collaboration between photographs and subject, with accompanying text, is well worth whiling away your time. Also featured within this show is the largest exhibition of Jim Goldberg's work. The latter, in particular, provided an interesting contrast between the rich and the poor.

Nightwood Theatre - Calpurnia

Fascinating approach towards "To Kill a Mockingbird". The feelings of frustration and anger during the dinner party were palpable, offset by well timed comedic moments. Not to be missed.

What a great show! Lots of lovely dresses on display and fascinating commentary around the design and creation of the garments. The bead work, in particular, is incredible.

TIFF - Canada’s Top 10 Film Festival

A wonderful opportunity to see the best in Canadian film and hear direct from the filmmakers. I love short firemen and attended all of the Shorts programs and was impressed by the talent of Canadian filmmakers and the wonderfulfilms they make. It is definitely worth blocking time in your calendar to fit in this Festival.
