Big thanks to U of T's Cinema Studies Graduate Student Conference for having Jodie Mack select a program of experimental animated classics to be viewed with 3D diffraction glasses. A transcendent experience for me, and even work I know and love filled the room in ways I wasn't anticipating.
I wrote about the history of Cinecycle, now operated by @cfmdcfilm.bsky.social, for @thestar.com last summer www.thestar.com/entertainmen...
Tough competition here, but this Toronto resident & cinema historian is doing a very Toronto resident thing & calling out Toronto erasure. Can’t believe that not a single one of our houses were mentioned.
