In the wake of the Toronto International Film Festival, we take a look at the film and television industry’s impact on the city.<\/p>\n
We talk to director-producer Matt Tyrnauer, who recently premiered his latest film, Citizen Jane: Battle for the City<\/a>, at TIFF. The documentary portrays Jane Jacobs’ battle to stop Robert Moses’ destructive urban policy in its tracks.<\/p>\n Next, we speak to Toronto Councillor Michael Thompson<\/a>, chair of the Economic Development and Culture Committee, about a banner year for the Toronto film industry.<\/p>\n We cap it off with an interview and tour led by Archaeological Services Inc.<\/a> founder Ron Williamson. He takes us through a display in the TIFF Bell Lighbox, showcasing archaeological findings from the site of Toronto’s first civilian hospital, where the theatre now stands.<\/p>\n The exhibit is a breathtaking look into life in early Toronto, that’s not to be missed.<\/p>\n Subscribe to the podcast on iTunes<\/a>, or Soundcloud<\/a>, or follow our RSS feed<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n
