Show Notes:

Solidarity Sunday at the Parkdale Film and Video Showcase

This edition of the FFIT Show includes reflections on the Parkdale Film and Video Showcase that happened in July. The interview features Rebecca Gruihn, who is a filmmaker, a part of sessional faculty at York University, and the Programming Director for the festival, talking about “Solidarity Sunday.”

Solidarity Sunday this year was conceived as a response to the string of sexual assaults that happened in 2012 in Parkdale and other communities around Toronto. Films shown at this event opened up conversations on sexual violence, gender discrimination, and how to take back community space.
