The Toronto Public Space Committee, Streets to Screens Project will present a screening of two films - "Men In The Park" a short, followed by "City Park -- A Little Music For The Soul" (52 minutes).The screening, starting about 8:30, will follow Friday Night Dinner.
About the short: Directed by George Geertsen, produced by Robert Verrall (1971).
These men in the park are pencil drawings, but this is no still-life study. It is as if the artist's sketchbook has become animate, alive. The result is intriguing, especially for those with an eye for the art of film animation. About the feature: Directed by Carole Laganière and produced by Nathalie Barton (2006), it’s the story of Parc Lafontaine, an urban park in the heart of Montréal and the lives that inhabit it. A portrait over four seasons of a place where people feel fully alive and less alone, a place that speaks, listens and consoles. This film is a Toronto premiere.
