Kurelek’s 'The Maze': Toronto premiere
Location
The Maze: a film about the life and art of renowned Canadian artist William Kurelek. Brothers Nick and Zack Young produced, restored and reimagined their father’s unseen 1969 film. Over 40 years in the making, Kurelek described The Maze (an artwork from which the film draws its title) as “a painting of the inside of [his] skull which [he] painted while in England as a patient in Maudsley and Netherne psychiatric hospitals.”
Including a prescreening talk about the art/architecture of St.Anne’s and a post-screening panel: exploring art, mental health and faith.

Trans film screening series presents Glen or Glenda
Location
Everyone welcome. Allies welcome.
GLEN OR GLENDA: wildly considered the worst film ever . . . it is an exploitation film created by Ed Wood, and featuring Bela Lugosi. The film is a docudrama about cross-dressing and semi-autobiographical. Wood himself was a crossdresser, and the film is a plea for tolerance.
"Glen or Glenda" tells two stories. One is about Glen, who secretly dresses as a woman but is afraid to tell his fiancée. The other is about Alan, a "pseudohermaphrodite" who undergoes a painful operation to become a woman. The film delivers earnest (even if incoherent) lectures on understanding. A cult classic with great conviction.
Campy with comic appeal and definitely a B-movie beyond the mainstream - come question what is has to say.
