Toronto International Film Festival
Ashkenaz Festival
Join the Toronto fall time, not just for back-to-school or backto-campus activities! The Ashkenaz Festival is the largest
Jewish cultural event in Canada. Artists from France are
showcased: Strasburg Yiddish theatre director and founder R.
Goldwaser, Klezmer music with The Other Europeans and A.
Receanu, G. Edery’s Sefarad music.
This is what Toronto is about! This Ashkenaz Festival promotes
approximately 50-70 shows from Canada and around the world,
including 200 artists and performers working in music, theatre,
dance, film, literature, craft and visual arts. TIFF follows
through right after opening up its new amazing King Street
facilities.
With all this positive attitude, the world within a mosaic, it has
been such a pleasure serving you for the last three years. I have
to leave, but from September 1st, Claire Le Masne takes it on.
Be happy!

with the poetic.

GILBERT GARCIN : MISTER G.

By placing himself, via the character he embodies, in absurd and
inextricable situations, Gilbert Garcin invites us to ponder such
philosophical quandaries as time, solitude and the weight of existence.
His work raises a number of universal questions about the meaning of
human existence. The crudeness of his technique, combined with the
intelligence of his themes, reflects an earnestness that embodies both the
character and the creator.
