A HISTORY OF TORONTO IN 8 MILLIMETRES
From the 1930’s to 70’s, Toronto as seen through the lens of the average citizen. =
The best-known events of the city, the changing patterns of everyday life and long-gone Toronto locales, were all captured in amateur films (most of them in full-colour on beautiful Kodachrome stock). We present a cross-section of these unadorned snatches of time, compiled from over 20 different home movie collections.
Cottages on Ward’s Island in 1934, Victory in Europe Day, steam trains crossing the city,1970’s fashions, Yonge and Queen Streets in the 1940’s, 1950’s & 1960’s, suburban kids and cars, ladies in fancy dresses and hats, and a solider leaving for war - these are among the subjects chronicled in our eye-catching tour of Toronto's past.
