FILM: The Toronto International Film Festival presents the sixth annual national Student Film Showcase, screening the work of students from the sixteen universities and colleges across Canada—from Emily Carr to NSCAD—that make up the Film School Consortium. Thirteen films (chosen by jury from five hundred submissions) will be screened, two of which will be awarded the Best Live-Action Film or the Best Animated Film. In a shocking demonstration of inequality, the live-action winner receives a 35 mm digital intermediate output of their film, while the animation winner gets a Wacom Tablet. AMC Yonge & Dundas (10 Dundas Street East), 7:30 p.m., $8.
THEATRE: East-side theatre troupe the East Side Players begins its second week of Noel Coward’s Waiting in the Wings. The theatre company performs in the newly renovated Papermill Theatre and Gallery, part of historic Todmorden Mills, where they have been the resident theatre company for thirty years. This is the last play this season (on until June 6)—call first as there were limited seats left at the time of writing. Papermill Theatre and Gallery (67 Pottery Road), 8 p.m. sharp, $18 ($12 for students).
MEDIA: Tony Burman drops in to the Bahen Centre this evening to give the low down on why the CRTC should permit Al Jazeera English to be broadcast in Canada. Burman has been managing director of Al Jazeera English since last year, following his seven-year stint as editor-in-chief of CBC News. The talk will be followed by a question-and-answer with the public, plus an opportunity to send letters of support to the CRTC. Bahen Centre, Room 1160 (40 St. George Street), 7 p.m., $5.
MUSIC: Donlands & Mortimer (yes, they really are named after the intersection—don’t say we ignore you, east-siders!) launch their new EP Scylla tonight at the Boat. The band recently opened at the album-release party of another Toronto band, T H O M A S, and are returning the favour tonight by including them on the bill. Also playing are Toronto’s Yuka and Boys Who Say No. The Boat (158 Augusta Avenue), 9:30 p.m., $8. (Look for a cover/CD door special!)
PARTY: Manly accessory designers CEMENT are hosting a party at Wrongbar to celebrate the launch of their new limited edition line with Paris-based Ed Banger Records. The fifty pieces that resulted are all sold out, but that doesn’t mean you can’t party on with Ed Banger’s Busy P, who has flown here all the way from Paris to DJ the event. Wrongbar (1279 Queen Street West), 10 p.m., $20.
FILM: The ICC’s “Housepaint, Phase 2: Shelter” exhibit continues to examine the issues of homelessness with tonight’s screening of Eric Weissman’s film Subtext: Real Stories. The film begins with the dismantling of Toronto’s Tent City and continues by tracing the life of some of its residents as they re-enter the mainstream. The film is followed by a panel discussion with the filmmaker, two former Tent City residents, and two poverty activists. Royal Ontario Museum, Eaton Theatre (100 Queens Park, south entrance), 7 p.m., $10.
