Our recurring series dedicated to showcasing the best of Canadian cinema presents two neglected classics: Terrance Odette's Heater (1999) and Ron Mann's Listen to the City (1984).

Films in Canadian Open Vault: Summer 2012

    • Heater
    • Terrance Odette

    • A down-on-his-luck Native man forms an unlikely bond with a homeless schizophrenic as they traverse a snowbound Winnipeg desperately trying to sell a heater in the beautifully realized feature debut by Terrance Odette.

    • No events playing at this time.
    • Listen to the City
    • Ron Mann

    • This rare outing into fiction filmmaking by veteran documentarian Ron Mann presents an expansive, Nashville-like portrait of an economically stricken Toronto in the mid-1980s, boasting a large cast of alternative culture icons and local personalities — including the late and sorely missed NDP leader Jack Layton.

    • No events playing at this time.

TIFF's Canadian Open Vault programme is part of our efforts to make our country's rich cinematic heritage more accessible to our audiences. Expanded from its annual showcase at the Toronto International Film Festival, Canadian Open Vault now presents Canadian classics every season at TIFF Bell Lightbox.
