Stop what passes for the presses these days! We interrupt watching the rain fall upon our final City Sonic film shoot today (with Divine Brown at the Rex Hotel) to trumpet the news that 11 City Sonic films will have their World Premieres at the Toronto International Film Festival next month. As part of TIFF free outdoor programming at Yonge and Dundas Square, City Sonic shorts will run before some of the best music features ever made (including two of my favourites, Rattle and Hum and Leonard Cohen: I’m Your Man) – all for the low price of Free!
The lucky 11 City Sonic films include:
Geddy Lee of Rush at Massey Hall (directed by Bruce McDonald)
Care Failure of Die Mannequin at 102.1 The Edge (directed by Bruce McDonald)
Laura Barrett with Martin Tielli of the Rheostatics at the AGO (directed by Peter Lynch)
Sarah Slean at the Rivoli (directed by Rob Pilichowski)
Serena Ryder at the Dakota (directed by Robert Lang)
Divine Brown at the Rex (directed by Charles Officer)
Come back for the complete list of films and schedules, to be revealed here imminently. Then join us every day from September 10 to 19 at Yonge and Dundas Square to be the first to see these new City Sonic docs as we celebrate the best of Toronto music and film.
