Each week, Torontoist shows off the most interesting, creative, and cool submissions to our Torontoist Flickr Pool. We're especially partial to photos that show our city in a new light, highlight a recent event, and remind us why we live here. Join the Flickr pool and show us what you've got.

This week our attention is almost completely owned by Cinematheque Ontario’s offerings, even with the thought of Christina Ricci chained to a radiator in Black Snake Moan grasping at us. Not only are Cinematheque Ontario hosting the Human Rights Watch International Film Festival, they’re also showing From the Tsars to the Stars, a series of Russian sci-fi. How awesome is that? (There’s more to Russian sci-fi than just Solaris, doubters.) Maybe they’ll do a season......

Ah, another week, another Film Friday. But wait! There’s something special this week to break up the monotony! An extra special review of the (heavily delayed) Pulse brought to us by our superhuman photographer and co-editor David Topping. What do you have to say about it, David? Pulse may be both the worst and best movie of all time. It's not an even halfway-decent horror movie, so don't go expecting something like The Shining -......

Torontoist isn’t paid by the word, which is why we can allow ourselves long, rambling posts where we complain about the things that annoy us. Sorry, did we say “allow ourselves?” We meant “subject you to”. And here we go again. Now, Toronto is a lovely place, and as places go, it’s done a lot for film. It’s cheap to film here! We’ve got the Toronto Film Festival! David Cronenberg. And… Keanu Reeves got his......

It’s an interesting and potentially important time for English language Canadian filmmakers, with several Canadian films managing to reach cult hit status, such as It’s All Gone Pete Tong and The Life And Hard Time of Guy Terrifico. With only five percent of movies seen by Canadians made by Canadians (according to the program guide) and the writer of It’s All Gone Pete Tong Michael Dowse expressing a wish for Canadian content quotas for cinemas......

Well, we’ve already mentioned the Australian Film Festival today, but, of course, there’s still space for our little round up of cinema’s new releases and indie and rep film for the week. Not only are our friends with the babies that have been eaten by dingos holding their own festival, but the University of Toronto Film Festival starts this Valentine's Day (Tuesday, for all you bad husbands out there) at Innes Town Hall, 2 Sussex.......

Sometimes, on Torontoist’s laziest days, it will drag itself out of bed just long enough to flick on the BBC’s 6 music internet radio service, the BBC’s gift to the world’s fans of British indie music, to listen to the 6 music breakfast show, which for ages was almost always preceded by a Don Letts introduction, (if it wasn’t someone doing a bad impression of David Bowie doing the intro.) Which, to be honest, is......

Admittedly, the story of an urban columnist who drinks crantini's sets off alarm bells. It sounds well-traveled because it is well-traveled; the ghost of a horrible TV show that we will not mention still haunts us years after the fact. But the story of Maxine, an urban columnist who drinks crantini's in How Happy To Be, has very little syrup for the pancakes, so to speak. Maxime is presumably the alter-ego of former (and best)......

Happy New Year, film fans! Or, perhaps, not. For we’ve slammed like so much booze filled new year vomit upon the tarmac of the post-Christmas lull, in which basically nothing of interest is released in any format. Certainly this week fans of more high brow cinema will have to hang on like those last few drips of chunky bile saliva for Cinematheque Ontario’s winter programme, starting on January 13th, which we’ll probably talk about then,......

Kung Fu Fridays starts again tonight after a hiatus for the Toronto Film Festival, with a blistering October Schedule and a new location. Due to the (recently) traditional Royal Cinema being hired out regularly for festivals and so on this month, tonight the biweekly dose of Kung Fu action is being shown at the Revue Cinema at 400 Roncesvalles Ave (that’s 3 blocks south of Dundas West Station, for anyone unfamiliar with it). And......

The Toronto Film Festival is fully over and has been for nearly a week, with staff having made their way back from their temporary offices in hotels and malls, volunteers returned to their usual jobs or schools, and stars returning to… their lives of going to parties and hanging out with other stars (not a big change there, then). Now all the films are over and the red carpet has been rolled away, most......

New contributor Mathew will be posting regular on all things TIFF. Here goes: With only a few days to go until individual tickets go on sale for the Toronto Film Festival (7am on September 7th) and tickets hitting the heights of $20 when you factor in GST (over $35 for Gala tickets, which should be sold out by now, actually) it's definitely time for film lovers to begin their research into which films to......

A swath* of films were added to the 2005 Toronto Film Festival line-up today, including but not limited to Terry Gilliam's anticipated Tideland. The Gilliam flick, filmed largely in Saskatchewan, will no doubt be the headliner as it makes its world premiere at the 30th annual film fest. As of this moment, there'll be eight world premieres this year. Cate Blanchett will also be in the house. Get prepared here. * Correct use of......
