The opening night screens nine short films from the class, which is certain to offer up some gems from the city’s young film talent. Case in point: many of the films screened over the next few nights are picked up by international film festivals and shown around the world. Royal Cinema (608 College Street) 7 p.m. $10.

DANCE: Christopher House’s Chiasmata returns for a limited engagement at the Toronto Dance Theatre. What began as improvised movement is now a stylized showcase of twelve dancers who communicate through unexpected gestures such as shudders, hiccups, and twitches. A 2007 Dora Award nominee for Outstanding Choreography, Chiasma lost the award to another work by House, 2006’s Timecode Break. The performance features original music from Gemini Award–winning sound designer Phil Strong. Winchester Street Theatre (80 Winchester Street), 2 p.m., P.W.Y.C.
