On Sunday, you can catch the classic Israeli movie Late Summer Blues (Blues Lahofesh Hagadol) at 4 pm and 7:30 pm at the Miles Nadal JCC. It's presented by the Toronto Jewish Film Society with Israel @ 60 and Shlomo Schwartzberg will be speaking.
Rush seats will go on sale 15 minutes before screenings: $15, $10 (ages 18 – 29, 7:30 pm screening only). For more information, contact Esther Arbeid, (416)924-6211 x 606, esthera@mnjcc.org.
A Fine Frenzy plays Lee's Palace on Sunday at 8 pm. Tickets are $16.50.
Monday you can catch performances by ensembles from the Toronto Symphony Youth Orchestra (the musicians are 21 or younger) as part of the Five Small Concerts series. Perhaps the stars of tomorrow? Things get underway at 7:30 p.m. at the Trinity-St. Paul's Centre, 427 Bloor St. W. Tickets are $17, $14 and $10: 416.221.8342.
Sunset Tours of Casa Loma take place tonight, Friday and Saturday. And I quote: "Casa Loma is offering the rare opportunity to experience beautifully decorated suites in the romantic glow of a sunset. Each evening, visitors will be able to relive the golden era of this majestic estate when it was illuminated by some of the city's first electric lights combined with candlelight."
Tours run from 4 to 7:30 pm, but get there by 6:30 at the latest. Cost is $12, $7.50 and $6.75. and you'll have to pony up a small Capital Improvement Surcharge that will go toward keeping Casa Loma reseplendent.
The Annex Residents' Association meets tonight at the Annex Retirement Residence, 123 Spadina Road. No start time is listed.
Last week we listed some March Break activities, which will wrap up this weekend, of course.
Whatever you do, enjoy it!

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.
Cheers,
Vanessa
