For film fans, the Bloor Cinema has some interesting things going on this week... Monday is Varsity Day and admission is $3 if you show your U of T student ID. The line up is Lars and the Real Girl at 4:30 pm, Persepolis at 7 pm and There Will Be Blood at 9 pm. The latter two get Tomatometer readings in the 90s; not too shabby.
Also, if you want to revisit some classics, or introduce your kids to them, Wednesday night's double bill is Sunset Boulevard and A Streetcar Named Desire. I've heard nothing about the intriguing sounding Rock, Paper, Scissors: The Way of The Tosser, but it screens Saturday at 9:30 pm.
History buff? You might want to attend the final event in the Building Toronto: Archives and Architects lecture series (a .pdf flyer is available online). Andrew Waldron discusses Researching the Recent Past: Modern Architecture and the Archival Record Saturday at 1:30 p.m. It's free, but you have to register at 416-392-0558. City of Toronto Archives, 255 Spadina Rd.
The Reveries are at the Tranzac Saturday night for a CD release party, followed by a reggae dance party.

Banff Mountain Film Festival at The Bloor Cinema
It's not until this weekend at the Bloor Cinema, but I'm telling you about The Banff Mountain Film Festival now because you can get your tickets in advance from Taylor's Outdoor Gear at 123 Spadina Avenue and waiting till the day of could be too late... it often is!What's it about? This rolled into my inbox from a friend who is a self-professed "huge fan" of the festival:
"Every year the Banff Mountain Culture Centre tours a subset of their Film Festival entries around the world.
For those of you that haven't been before, the premise of the Banff Film Festival (and related book and photography festivals) is to celebrate anything that is related to mountain culture. So while there will be some gnarly Warren Miller-esque snowboard vids, there also will be much, much more.
Here is a clip from a seven minute animated short about a badger that just wants to be left alone in his burrow to sleep, along with a trailer for the Festival itself that's on YouTube.

Two years ago the Festival winner was shown and it was an extremely moving documentary about the smuggling of children from Tibet to Pakistan so they could get an education. The only route between Tibet and Pakistan was via a 22,000 foot mountain pass and the children were about 5 to 9 years old."

What's Happening (Inc. March Break)
It's Varsity Day at the Bloor Cinema on the 10th. U of T students pay $3 admission, but you must show ID.
Screenings include The much ballyhooed The Diving Bell and The Butterfly, No Country For Old Men and Starting Out In The Evening. Great line up!
Speaking of the Bloor Cinema, this in from area artist Deb Wiles:
"A fine art auction is taking place in the upstairs lobby of the Bloor Cinema at 11:00 am sharp on Sat. March 8th.
The work has been up for viewing since Feb. 18th. Artists' Direct Auctions is the brainchild of John Romano who, after many years in the art business as an artist and a dealer, has decided to start an auction house. This auction will therefore be the first of many. Mr. Romano's intent is to sell work for artists as efficiently as possible, to get money into their pockets so that they may focus on producing more work rather than having to focus on selling their own work." [VR: Noble concept, that!]
On March 9th at the Miles NadalJCC, our neighbour, Jordan Klapman, continues with his Great Jewish Composers Music Lecture series. He tackles the topic of Yiddish American Swing in the Postwar Era from 11 am to 12:30 pm. Admission is $9 and includes bagels and coffee.
On the same day, you can meet at the Fitness Desk at 10 am to head down to Nathan Philips Square to skate en masse.
The performers of The Randolph Academy are mounting One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest the 11th to the 15th at the Bathurst Street Theatre. Tickets are $22 and are available through Ticketmaster.
Tafelmusik Baroque Orchestra and Chamber Choir, which makes its home at Trinity-St. Paul's Centre, 427 Bloor St. West, is offering In the Garden of Delights: Music from the Song of Songs this weekend. Call 416.964.6337 for details and tickets.
MARCH BREAK ACTIVITIES
Yes, it's that time again... time for the "mid-winter" break. Those with children, gird your loins. Those without children, gird your loins -- and, for pity's sake, stay away from any large public institutions!
The Toronto Public Library has a slew of March Break events, including Dan the Music Man at the Palmerston Branch and an Origami workshop at the Spadina Road location.
And the theatre in the Palmerston Branch plays host to Little Red Theatre's Goldilocks and the Three Canadian Bears on Monday at 1:30 p.m. Tickets are $11 and $9; 416-533-8848.
The ROM has tons to do, including a Medieval Fair where you can try your hand at calligraphy and watch some medieval-style dancing. The Bata Shoe Museum has an Around the World In Five Days theme. Kids can dress up in kimonos or saris, paint miniature clogs and much more.
Casa Loma features pirate-themed activities for the gaffers, including a treasure hunt and a pirate show.
For events out of our area, Toronto.com has great listings and suggestions, as well as Toronto4Kids.com.
Whatever you do, enjoy it!

Vanessa

Toronto Consort, which is housed in Trinity St. Paul's on Bloor, west of Spadina, features Toward the Centre: Music for a Medieval Labyrinth Feb 29 & March 1. And I quote:
"The medieval labyrinth, found in many of the great Gothic cathedrals of Europe, is a compelling symbol of the journey to the centre (and back again), of the perils and the path of life, and of beauty.
In the Middle Ages pilgrims visiting the labyrinth danced in this sacred space and the Toronto Consort has researched this ancient custom to present a stunning program of music for the labyrinth: lively medieval dance-songs, sophisticated renaissance polyphony by Josquin Desprez, with a special new creation featuring members of Sampradaya Dance Creations.
This concert is part of the Sacred Spaces, Sacred Circles Arts Festival, a celebration of music and architecture in the Spring of 2008."
Bluegrass Goes Pink is a Foggy Hogtown Boys Fundraiser for the Weekend to End Breast Cancer. The boys perform at The Brunswick House on Saturday from 3:30 to 7:30 pm. The $5 suggested cover will go to WEBC team Putting our Breast Foot Forward. It's listed as suitable for all ages.

What's Happening
You can say you were in on the ground floor if you attend the first annual Romanian Film Festival this weekend. Films include Cristian Nemescu's Cannes prize-winner California Dreamin' and Lucian Pintile's 1968 Reenactment. Screenings are at Innis Town Hall, within hoofing distance, and tickets are $10 (students) and $15.
Speaking of film festivals, Sprockets, the younger brother of the Toronto International Film Festival, screens films aimed at a younger audience throughout the year in addition to a blitz on a mid-April weekend. This Sunday you can catch Viva Cuba, a Cuba/France co-production, at 12:30 pm at the Sheppard Grande cinema. It's NOT within hoofing distance, but at least you can tube it there and it's cheaper than a trip to Cuba.
As usual, there's a full slate of musical acts at the Tranzac Club, which is on Brunswick, just south of Bloor.
The Rape of Europa was shortlisted for an Oscar and it's screening at the Bloor Cinema tonight at 7 pm. The documentary gets rave reviews and has generated a lot of buzz. Taglined "Imagine The World Without Our Masterpieces," it's about the Nazi plunder of Europe greatest artworks during WWII.
As usual, there's a lot happening at the Miles Nadal JCC at the southwest corner of Spadina and Bloor. You'll have to buy your tickets by Monday to attend a group theatre and dinner excursion to The Russian Play & Essay, two short plays by Hannah Moscovitch, on Tuesday, Feb. 5th.
The plays will be at Factory Theatre and you have to call to get dinner details. Tickets are available at the MNjcc front desk for $23 (dinner not included), or you can call .416.924.6211, ext. 0.
Although it's not until the weekend of Feb. 9th/10th, I suspect that it's a good idea to get your tickets now for the Flying Bulgars 20th Anniversary Concert, which is a two-day affair in the MNjcc's Al Green Theatre.
Tickets are available at MNjcc reception and by phone: 416.924.6211, ext. 0 (phone order service charge applies), $24 in advance, $30 at the door and $15 for people 14 years and younger.

Vanessa
