Superstition tells us that bad things come in threes, but so do some good things, like when the Criterion Channel wants to highlight the essential works necessary to get to know a filmmaker by posting a collection of three films.
From free screenings and 35mm presentations, to the classic monthly shadowcast screening of Rocky Horror Picture Show, Toronto movie lovers continue to get spoiled by our city’s incredible film programmers. Get all the details from this month’s screening guide!
The words “nervous” and “anxious” do not do justice to what I was experiencing as I sat in what is probably the swankiest private screening room in Toronto (located in Yorkville’s Hazelton Hotel) waiting to interview the fantastic Mr. Bogdanovich. Since our camera fell through at the last minute, we were armed only with a Fostex FR-2 sound recorder, a microphone bigger than most modern cameras, and a hope that he’d appreciate the old-school nature of the apparatus.
Turner Classic Movies and Bell are bringing the Road to Hollywood tour to Toronto and we want to send five lucky winners and their guests to a very special screening of The Last Picture Show this weekend with director Peter Bogdanovich in attendance.
