Event Notes
SCARBOROUGH screening November 1 at 7pm. Toronto and Vancouver Film Critics groups named Scarborough Best Canadian Film 2022. “Written for the screen by Catherine Hernandez, from her 2016 debut novel, the Canadian film serves up a slice of life from Toronto’s East End–the Galloway Road area, to be precise. It follows three primary-aged kids over one school year: Bing (Liam Diaz), a kind-hearted but bullied Filipino boy looking to succeed away from his father’s abuse and mental illness; Sylvie (Mekiya Fox), an outgoing Indigenous girl whose family is struggling to make ends meet; and, Laura (Anna Claire Beitel), a neglected, shy girl just looking for someone to care about her. “ Emma Badame
