CFMDC + AGO Present Toronto Films from 1971-1989


To compliment Wanda Nanibush’s exhibition Toronto: Tributes + Tributaries (1971-1989), the CFMDC has programmed some films that reflect Toronto during this period. My 1981 film, The Bird That Chirped on Bathurst will be screened along with gems from that era.

The first program will be on March 12th at Jackman Hall at the Art Gallery of Ontario.
