This year's showcase includes a range of animation, live action film, and visual poetry that provide an exploration of self-identity, hidden anxieties, constraints placed on us by society, and a glimpse of real and imagined environments that we immerse ourselves in and what they can become. Presented in partnership with the 19th annual Doors Open Toronto presented by Great Gulf at Toronto City Hall.

Film: The Great Romance
This year’s theme for Doors Open Toronto presented by Great Gulf is “Film: The Great Romance,” exploring the city’s film and television industry. With more than 1,400 on-location film, television and digital media productions taking place in the city each year, Toronto is North America’s third largest screen-based production centre and the heart of Canada’s film and television sector. The Doors Open Toronto program features historic cinemas, film and television studios, post-production houses, digital media studios, artist-run centres and film training schools. The program also highlights buildings that have been featured in film and television, many of which are often not open to the public. Take a look below for other film related programming at this year's Doors Open Toronto.
