THIS YEAR'S VENUES
BLOOR CINEMA - 506 BLOOR STREET WEST.
The historic Bloor Cinema has been a Toronto landmark for over 100 years. With more than 800
seats, both modern and classic (including the original balcony loveseats!) and one huge screen
graced by our magnificent curtain, the Bloor remains the ultimate place to see movies the way they
were meant to be seen.
The Bloor is home to an incredible array of film festivals, movie premieres, gala events, classic
films and Hollywood blockbusters. We are proud to showcase a variety of perspectives from across
Canada and around the world: independent films, fascinating stories, important documentaries
and sometimes just wild, unbridled entertainment!
• Equipped with 35mm -16mm, Video/Data and slide projection - CD, DVD, SVHS and VHS players, Dolby Digital Surround Sound!
• Located downtown in the Annex near Bathurst subway station and the University of Toronto
• Available for rental. Suitable for film shoots, lectures, computer software presentations, music video release parties, movie theme
events, fundraisers, concerts, weddings, birthday parties, anniversaries, business meetings, etc.
THE GLADSTONE HOTEL - 1214 QUEEN STREET WEST.
The Gladstone Hotel is a unique urban hotel providing both travelers and Torontonians with a truly
authentic experience of the local creative culture. Our historic landmark hotel features Artist
Designed Hotel Rooms and Suites, Affordable Short-Term Artist Studios, Exhibition Spaces, and
Versatile Event and Conference Venues. The hotel also offers great food and drink in the
Ballroom Cafe and Melody Bar. Visitors can experience Toronto from within the comforts of the
hotel's thirty-seven artist designed guest rooms, eat, drink, attend art related, social, or corporate
events held within the historic landmark architecture, and then step out into the heart of the city's
vibrant art and design neighbourhood.
Not just a place to stay overnight! The Gladstone is more than a hotel. It is a place where local
artists exhibit their work and perform and more importantly a place where artists and regular
neighbourhood patrons come just to hang out. From cabaret performances to film screenings, art
exhibitions to wedding parties the Gladstone hosts events for a vast range of artists, community
groups, businesses and individuals.
U OF T's INNIS TOWN HALL - 2 SUSSEX AVENUE.
Located on the University of Toronto campus, Innis Town Hall is a fully-equipped cinema which
hosts numerous film festivals, free film screenings, and a rich variety of other cultural events. This
website is designed to inform the public about upcoming events, as well as to introduce Town Hall
to those interested in renting the theatre. The calendar of events page will be updated frequently,
so visit here often.
THE REVUE THEATRE - 400 RONCESVALLES AVENUE.
The Revue has occupied its Roncesvalles Ave. location since opening in 1912 and, until June
2006, never closed its doors. That gave it the distinction of being one of the oldest continuously
running movie theatres in the country. Built by the Suburban Amusement Company Ltd.,
construction commenced with the issuing of a building permit on November 22, 1911. A license to
show movies was granted by the end of January 1912, and the Revue opened soon after. To get
an idea just how long the Revue has been around, consider this: the first films shown there were
silent! (Music for such films would be provided by a piano, a location for which is shown in early
architectural plans from the time.)
Last year, at the urging of the Revue Film Society, the Toronto Preservation Board recognized the
heritage value of elements of the Revue’s façade, and recommended historic designation. The
building is described as having classical Edwardian details, typical of the World War 1 era.
The distinctive Art Deco marquee was a later addition but became the feature everyone
associated with the slightly shabby but endearing neighbourhood theatre. It came crashing down
one night in February 2007, when a weakened supporting chain snapped under the weight of ice
and snow. The metal lettering that graced the canopy was saved.
The Revue, which was part of the Festival Cinemas group, had been owned by Etobicoke resident,
accountant and film buff Peter McQuillan. He died in 2004, and his children decided to sell it after
continuing to operate it and two other theatres, the Royal and the Kingsway, for almost two years.
A new era has now begun. Sold to local residents Danny and Letty Mullin, and leased to the
Revue Film Society, the Revue is now a cinema run by a community-based organization. With
"Reel diversity, Real Community" as its moto, the Revue intends to be around for many, many
more years to come.
