A crowd watches Amelie in Toronto's Christie Pits Park in August 2018 as park of the Toronto Outdoor Picture Show.
"There was TIFF in the Park, there was Harbourfront, and they were well-curated series, but they were very much in the urban downtown where really not very many people lived at that time," she says. And then, in 2020, COVID brought all that to a screeching halt. Gathering restrictions meant that only 100 people could go to any outdoor event. TOPS switched to a ticketed model, holding events solely at Fort York, and only for 10 days. In 2021, they stayed in Fort York, and gave space for some of the city's other film festivals — including Inside Out, Reel Asian and the Regent Park Film Festival — a chance to curate the screenings.
"There were so many festivals that hadn't seen their audiences in two years at that point," says Reid."It's both literal that the season is curated to highlight performers and performances on screen, but it is also metaphorical as our curtains are up. It's also a celebration of curtains coming up around the city," she says.
