I am primed about tomorrow night's screening at Cinematheque of three short films documenting Toronto's original Broken Social Scene - sixties Yorkville (Robin Spry's Flowers on a One Way Street) and seventies Rochdale (Ron Mann's Dream Tower), plus a reel of footage Mann shot on a Bolex of Yonge Street in the bad old days of the Biltmore, the Rio and the Coronet! I am so ready for a time capsule of life in Toronto when I was very young... I look forward to a night of red and gold TTC buses and yellow cop cars whizzing past the lens...and hopefully there will be a shot of a Harvey Wallbanger steakhouse...

Toronto: The Glory Days
I am primed about tomorrow night's screening at Cinematheque of three short films documenting Toronto's original Broken Social Scene - sixties Yorkville (Robin Spry's Flowers on a One Way Street) and seventies Rochdale (Ron Mann's Dream Tower), plus a reel of footage Mann shot on a Bolex of Yonge Street in the bad old days of the Biltmore, the Rio and the Coronet!

Oh, man! Envy beyond belief from these quarters. Would you consider sneaking in a camcorder and taping it?
Anti-piracy measures will be in effect at the screening.
