Welcome To The Toronto Film Society

We are excited to announce: - The "Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid" Weekend

Fri. May 11th through Sun. May 13th

The Carlton Cinema,

For the first time, after over 45 years of holding our May Film Weekend Getaway up in northern Ontario, Toronto Film Society will be holding this event in downtown Toronto!

It will be a film-packed weekend starting with the hilarious "Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid" followed by all eighteen of the 40s classic films, many of them film noir, that are featured in this 1982 film. The cost for the weekend is $150.00. It includes all 19 films and 3 lunches at the theatre. There are limited seats available so book early. The deadline to book for the "Dead Men" weekend is April 10th, 2012. After that time, if seats are still available, we will be offering a daily rate of $65 a day for the Friday, Saturday or Sunday.
