FILM: The 2009 Air Canada enRoute Student Film Festival is a festival run by Air Canada's enRoute magazine that sees selected short films screened on all Air Canada flights from July to December. Tonight, they are holding a free screening of the best of the fest (four of which are by Toronto filmmakers) at the Scotiabank Theatre. See tales of procrastinating film students (The Creative Process by Jeffrey Royiwski), misunderstood flies (A Freshwater Plague by Jake Chirico), a fateful storm in the countryside (A Season to Whither by LeighAnn Maynard), being depressed in Montreal (Synthétiseur by Sarah Fortin), a lovesick computer animation (Intermedium by Alain Huynh), and one woman's struggle with Alzheimer's (Princess Margaret Blvd. by Kazik Radwanski and Daniel Montgomery) without ever having to step on a plane. The films are nominated for Best Short Film, Achievement in Animation, Achievement in Direction, and Achievement in Cinematography. The judges, including director Deepa Mehta, actor Remy Girard, actress Lisa Ray, director Michael McGowan, and BravoFACT's Judy Gladstone will be at the screening, and an awards ceremony at the Drake Hotel will follow (for invited guests only). Scotiabank Theatre, Cinema 13 (259 Richmond Street West), 7 p.m., FREE.

MUSIC: Tonight, head out to the Danforth for what will likely be one of the best shows of the summer (sorry, Dave Matthews Band). Final Fantasy is playing!!! He's joined by the similarly electroclassical Nico Muhly, along with experimental musician Doveman and indie acoustic singer Samamidon, who are all visiting us from New York. Just yesterday, new tracks from Final Fantasy's two upcoming EPs were released to Zoilus and Stereogum, and they are predictably awesome; we cannot encourage you enough to go tonight. Danforth Music Hall (147 Danforth Avenue), 8 p.m., $20.
