(This message has distribution tor.general, so if you're out of geographic
range, it's not my fault.)
The Toronto Film Society will be presenting two "Film Buff Series".
Each series will include 10 shows; each show will include 2 movies.
The shows will be at 2-4 week intervals as detailed below, all the
shows in one series being on the same day and time.
You have to buy a ticket for an entire series at $25. You aren't allowed
to share it with another person or to bring guests. You must be at least 18.
All shows are at the Crest Theatre, 551 Mt. Pleasant Rd. (near Eglinton,
I believe; reasonably convenient to subway in any case).

(The TFS notice from which I drew this information gives additional information
about each film, including a capsule description. Where I have written "?"
above, it's because I haven't seen the movie and wasn't sure from their
description how to categorize it. Apologies for any errors.)
For further information contact Mr. Chapman at 487-9552 or Mr. Wilson at
923-6988. Call weekends, or evenings between 7 and 11 pm. The Toronto
Film Society's address is 128 Glen Road, Toronto M4W 2W3. The number of
memberships is strictly limited. Again: $25 buys one membership to one
series, and you can't buy individual show tickets.
