A bit late to this announcement- but thrilled to hear that Nathaniel Schmidt is running for city council in my neighbourhood. I've known Nathan for several years and can't think of a better, more committed candidate!
Feeling much more optimistic about the future of #yyccc now.

Great preview for #AmateurMovieDay2025 - screenings around the world this come week!
Here's a little gem for you: a 1936 amateur silent film made in Scotland about children dreaming of magical powers.
I enjoyed the children's performances particularly as they are so natural and sweet, in contrast to over-rehearsed studio kids of the era.
