The Gallerist is Torontoist's new bi-weekly arts listings. Starting January 31st, check back every other Wednesday for a new batch of events.

Our boy reporter called him "arguably the greatest Canadian animator ever" after viewing the Best of Norman McLaren during the Toronto International Film Festival, so you might be interested to see that starting tonight the NFB are celebrating 65 years of animation production with nightly, free of charge events.

Special to this fest is the 1st Young Filmmaker Development Workshop, a year-long mentorship program that coupled seasoned directors with Woodbridge high school students to create seven experimental films.

<< Cinq A Sept >> is French for "get your drink on" - when translated by The Brasserie (133 John St). And tonight is the prime opportunity to do so as VIPs gather at the hyped opening of the first of the Brasserie's weekly variety shows (yes, Torontoist is one of these VIPs.) Starting with tonight's Urban Burlesque, the patio will host a Sight & Sound event every week (hence weekly) for the rest of the summer. Although our VIP pass tonight is light on the I, at least we can keep you ahead of the game when they open these saucy events up to the public next week.

It all goes down tonight at the NFB Cinema, 8pm, 150 John St. Wear your finest Rosie the Riveter costume!
