Elwy Yost, 1925–2011

Growing up in the ’80s in Toronto, there were many ways for you to become a lifelong lover of film well before you were old enough to drink. There was CityTV, with its Great Movies four or five times a week. There was the Toronto International Film Festival, of course—but back then it was still the Festival of Festivals, and it still was first and foremost a collection of films from around the world that had premiered at other festivals first. Reg Hartt was already showing off Bugs Bunny’s dick at the Cineforum twice a week.
