Kim A Snyder  ⋅ USA ⋅ 92 min ⋅ Partial Subtitles
An unprecedented wave of book banning, largely focused on race and LGBTQ+ issues, is sparked in Texas, Florida, and beyond. Librarians, under siege, join forces and emerge as first responders in the fight for democracy, free access to information, and free speech. Controlling the flow of ideas means control over communities, and the possibilities for the world that we see. Despite facing harassment, threats, and laws aimed at criminalizing their work—the librarians’ rallying cry for the freedom to read is an inspiring and chilling cautionary tale.
Post Screening Event: Shhhh...Revolt In Process.
Join us for an evening that celebrates the power of stories and the role libraries play in protecting our democratic values. Following the film, stay for a lively panel discussion featuring:
James L. Turk – Director, Centre for Free Expression, Toronto Metropolitan UniversityMichelle Arbuckle – Executive Director, Ontario Library Association
Release your perception of librarians as cardigan-wearing wallflowers and celebrate our free speech superheroes in the battle to keep all books in the hands of all readers. Wear your coziest or fave cardigan.

A brief introduction on how to perform advanced polyrhythms with just a little practice.
Rhythm is fast becoming a new avenue for the development of musical exploration. The degree to which harmony has been explored and developed over the past 12-ish centuries has permitted just about any note combination to work together with the right structuring. Tension and release finds its new dimensions in the ability to play with time and feel itself. This workshop will explore practical and actionable theories and strategies for internalizing, self-organizing and performing polyrhythms and complex tuplets in a live music and compositional context, forging new paths of creative exploration.

Like its ambisextrous namesake, Buddies’ in-house bar and performance space Tallulah’s Cabaret does it all. It’s throbbing club nights and community tap dance lessons. High-concept drag and low-stakes open mics. Go for pre-drinks but stay late for the post-show discourse—maybe even spark that next collaboration. With local brews and sober options that aren’t an after-thought, Tallulah’s is the come-as-you-are bar for old friends, new lovers, partiers, poets, and curious passerby. See you under the chandeliers.
Tallulah’s Cabaret is open Wednesday to Sunday from 6:00pm to midnight (or later).

Paul
Directed by Denis Côté | 2025 | Canada | Documentary | 87 minutes | French, English
 
Box Office opens at 6:00 PM
Denis Côté's documentary Paul finds its eponymous protagonist figuring out how to take control of his life. Weighing 300 lbs and struggling with depression and social anxiety, the film chronicles Paul's unconventional path towards turning his life around. Paul finds solace in taking on the role of a "simp" (a man who excessively dotes on someone who doesn't reciprocate their affection). He spends his days on his hands and knees cleaning the homes of various dominatrices before going home and sharing his experiences with his burgeoning social media audience.
Côté crafts one of the year's most unconventional explorations of healing, self-improvement, and human connection. Paul emerges as a sweet and inspiring portrait of someone having the bravery to defy social norms in the pursuit of self-fulfillment. With shades of Wim Wenders' modest masterpiece Perfect Days, Paul suggests mindful commitment to repetitive tasks can strengthen resilience while bringing meaning and satisfaction to everyday life.
Keywords: Depression, social anxiety, housework, BDSM & kinkPrevious screenings: Hot Docs
Director bio:  Born in 1973 in New Brunswick, Denis Côté has produced and directed films since 1995. His first feature film, Les États Nordiques (2005), received the Golden Leopard Video Award at the Locarno International Film Festival. Vic+Flo ont vu un notre won the Silver Bear for Innovation at the Berlinale in 2013. Hygiène sociale won the Best Director award in the Encounters section at the Berlinale in 2021. In 2024, he received the Albert Tessier Prize, Québec's highest filmmaking distinction, in recognition of his body of work.

Discover the Culinary Delights of Toronto with Our Secret Food Tour
3 - 3½ hours | 6 stops | 12 people max | English | Local food and culture | Award-winning 
------------------  
On our Secret Food Tour: Toronto, you'll explore two of the city's most iconic and authentic neighborhoods—St. Lawrence and the Distillery District. Start your journey in the historic St. Lawrence Market, a food lover's haven established in 1803, where you'll taste some of Toronto's finest culinary delights while soaking in the rich local food culture.
Next, you'll wander through the charming Distillery District, a pedestrian-only area with cobblestone streets and stunning Victorian-era architecture. Once the largest distillery in the world, this district is now a vibrant hub for arts, culture, and entertainment.
By the end of the tour, you'll have had the chance to explore local galleries, boutiques, and artisan shops, as well as sample some of Toronto's finest local delicacies. Get ready to uncover the hidden treasures that make Toronto a paradise for foodies and culture enthusiasts alike.
Ready to join us? Book now and let the feast begin!
 Our journey starts at the St. Lawrence Market, Toronto’s historic marketplace dating back over 200 years.
 First up, we’ll visit a local fish market where you’ll sample wild-caught sockeye salmon cured in Canadian maple syrup.
 Then we'll visit a pub known for making one of the best versions of the "peameal bacon sandwich", also known as Canadian bacon.
 Next, you'll indulge in a popular no-bake dessert whose origin is shrouded in mystery.
 After leaving the market, you'll unearth an Indian-inspired dish that has taken Toronto by surprise and is now a staple of the city's street food scene.
 And for a great end, you'll devour the mouth-watering goodness of a classic Canadian pastry, the famous Butter Tart.
 As with all our tours, there's our delicious Secret Dish.
*Please note: the itinerary and menu are subject to change, based on the locations' availability, weather, and other circumstances.

 Meeting Spot
St. Lawrence Centre for the Arts. Across from Berczy Park, 27 Front St. E., Toronto. ON M5E 1B4. Your guide will be waiting with an orange umbrella so they are easy to spot.
Why the St. Lawrence Market?
As Toronto's oldest market, the St. Lawrence Market's property has had a market as early as 1803. The building itself has many of its original structures still in place from 1845. We chose this spot as our main focal point on our tour because it still remains a place for history, culture and is a part of Toronto's identity.
The area that was built around this market is reflective of how old and new can coexist in cuisine, architecture and history. This is the best place to discover some of Toronto's finest cuisine at the same time as learn more about the city's fascinating history!

Farewell Strange Hotel
Performed by Ben E. Wood | Music | Album Launch
 
Box Office opens at 7:00 PM | MAIN HALL
Through experiments with technology, improvisation and new-found acceptance of lived experience, Ben E. Wood has built something of a catharsis-fueled time machine. The output is a rich and layered concept album that plays with hurt, love, anguish, wisdom, and self-destruction-for-the-sake-of-self-rebuilding. This album (and its live show counterpart) curiously dance through each stage of grief, ultimately landing on acceptance as the last stop. This is not just a story of endurance, it's about transformation and growth. It's about coming to accept reality, with all its pain and beauty. It's about coming to terms with disability, and all that we can't change.
This album is a dreamlike companion to crisis and recovery, drawing aesthetic inspiration from folk-punk, clowny 90s rock and psychedelic anti-folk. The refrains and motifs that weave in and out of the project are meant to tie each string into the bigger knot that is recovery. While the project is full of hard-found wisdom, throughout the show we get to see the emotional backstage of what it feels like to seek help.
Farewell Strange Hotel is about the derailment that comes from crisis, and the effort of helping the train onto a new track. This album moves us through frantic manic fear and urgency, to grounded and thoughtful resolutions. There's pain and levity and roadblocks and epiphanies. And restarts. Sometimes recovery walks a circular path, and the lyrical and melodic interplay between the songs reflects that. It'll walk with you. Sometimes in circles.
Content Keywords: Disability, Grief, Harm Reduction, Psychiatry, Trauma
Artist BioBen E. Wood (he/they) is a disabled artist and media-maker in East York whose experiences fill out a whimsical body of work playing in the tension between misery and joy. Through experiments with technology, improvisation and new-found acceptance of lived experience, Ben has built something of a catharsis-fueled time machine. Ben's new recoverycore concept album is called Farewell Strange Hotel, and it's a dreamlike companion to 2024's immersive psychosis episode, a 4-week hospitalization and its associated recovery efforts afterwards. It seeks to laugh and cry at the same time, covering both the manic frantic fear and the measured thoughtful resolutions.

'Everything has a voice'
Lips pressed against a mic with a determination to be heard, even in fragmented lines, distorting. Two gloved hands wave over a series of objects arranged on a large white table; a VHS player and CRT Monitor, a Cassette Player, three mixers, a camera, a power bar and several charging cells, the crackling electromagnetic static they emit made audible and interruptive. Their wires spill over the edge of the desk, entangled.
'Sound is something that you can feel beyond your skin'
“Listening Gloves” designed as an instrument to play different pulsing electromagnetic frequencies of curated technological artifacts through touch. In this process of amplification, they tune into sounds as though they are rhythms of a living being.
This is "Sandpaper Hammock", a solo multimedia performance series where improvised sound compositions are played off of technological artifacts in combination with original poetry recitations. Through sound, a story unfolds, inviting embodied feeling as a vehicle to share in ways that do not center language over sensation.
Static is used as a material of resistance; the electromagnetic frequencies made audible are a sonic reminder of a friction that exists between surface and depth, a disruption of smoothness. During the set, the camera is turned onto the audience and the frequencies generated from a live feed on a CRT are an act of subversion.
This piece disrupts the focus by interrogating the nature of viewership through technology in the performance itself. People are asked to “watch themselves, watching me. Who remembers longer? The static, the screen, or the human being?'
Keywords: BIPOC, protest & resistance, technology & media 
Performer BioAliyah Aziz is a multidisciplinary storyteller, poet and musician who uses light to talk about shadows, and sound to physically move them through us. She uses disruption as a tool of resistance, embracing glitch and static to channel the friction that exists between the surface and the depth of the technology that we engage with. Her expressions take many forms, from multimedia moving collages of archived material, experimental sound and poetry compositions, interactive media installations, to live performances. I consider my practice to be an exploration of identity and the power that stories hold, from the history of our shadows to the projection of our futures.
