Toronto Silent Film Festival coming end of March 2011

[Silent in Toronto]

Well, we made through last year and had so much fun that we're crazy enough to do it again this year. Great guest programmers with Rob Brooks heading up our Mary Pickford Biograph shorts; blogger Chris Edwards with his Shorts from the Lawless Days 1896-1911 and a whole wack of goodies from our comedy master Chris Seguin. Toronto Urban Film Festival will be screening some of their modern silent shorts with us as well. Toronto Theatre Organ Society at Casa Loma will be having their fabulous Wurlitzer playing away to It. Composer Andrew Downing & Ensemble will be playing a newly written score for the Italian epic Maciste all'inferno and we welcome Hamilton composer Robert Bruce into the mix with his fabulous score for Faust on closing day. As with last year, we're taking the movies to the people, moving around the different movie houses throughout the city. Heck, we're blushing from our inclusion in the Best of 2010 we got from The Toronto Film Scene. Nice to hear, a lot to live up to. We'll be welcoming audiences from March 30-April 7.
