Opening Night for the Toronto Silent Film Festival.
Go out for a night at the movies 1920s style! The film going experience for movie fans in the Jazz Age was quite different than the 21st Century. Tonight you’ll be the 1st Canadian audience in a 100 years to see the 1923 lost feature The Gold Diggers. Plus a re-creation of what a 1920s audience would also see before the feature-cartoons, newsreels, human interest stories and a serial chapter–all on the theme of lost. The cartoon is the 1st film Walt Disney did (and was never released theatrically), the serial was once considered lost, a lost mountain community, see Mary Pickford & Douglas Fairbanks visit Toronto.
