The Congress for New Urbanism Ontario (CNU) has announced this year's Toronto New Urbanism Film Festival. Held at the Innis Town Hall on the University of Toronto's St. George Campus, the two-part showcase will be hosted on June 1st and June 7th. The event will screen a total of 14 short films, touching upon urban issues from around the world.
For example, the film Caroline Woolard Flips the Real Estate Script—screened on June 1st—addresses New York City's rising housing prices, and how artist and organizer Caroline Woolard tackles the issue for permanent affordable space within her city. Screened on June 7th, the film Built to Last offers a primer on New Urbanism, with the festival set to be closed out by a film called Bikes vs Cars: The False Dichotomy.
Hosted in collaboration with the University of Toronto, a post-screening panel will follow each screening. The panels will feature speakers such as U of T Department of Urban Studies' Director Professor Shauna Brail, Ward 27 Councillor Kristyn Wong-Tam, architect Graham McNally, author and Cycle Toronto founder Yvonne Bambrick, and many more.
