We've also got a few neat events to tell you about. On Wednesday, March 2 at 8 pm, the TIFF Bell Lightbox will be screening Life, Above All as part of their Human Rights Watch festival. This film premiered at Cannes last year, where it won a prestigious award and was highly praised by Roger Ebert--so if you're in Toronto, definitely go see it!
A week and a half later, on March 13, Fiona Smyth will be launching her dystopian graphic novel The Never Weres with This Is Not A Reading Series. RM Vaughan, art critic for the Globe and Mail, will be leading a discussion about her vivid career, and audience members of all ages are invited to grab Sharpies and doodle a panel for the event’s collective drawings/comics jam. Should be a fun time!
