Fragments and Façades
Discover how pieces of demolished city buildings were transformed into a landscape of art, memory, and architectural history at Guild Park. Encounter remnants of Toronto’s former city skyline, a time when stately banks and ornate office buildings dominated the landscape. Rescued from wasteyard and garbage dumps, rubble from buildings demolished in the early to mid-20th century was restored, and found new life at Guild Park. Among the remains you’ll encounter on this walk are the carved red sandstone panels from the Temple Building, the tallest building in the British Empire upon its completion; stone panels and parapets from an Art Deco office tower that housed the operations for the daily newspaper, the Toronto Star; and parts of two grand banks that stood at the corner of King and Bay Street – the Bank of Montreal and the Bank of Toronto. Pick up the pieces with us as we wander through this unusual park and weave together a story of a lost Toronto.

An American in Paris – 75th Anniversary
“Metro has another sock boxoffice winner in An American in Paris . Film is one of the most imaginative musical confections turned out by Hollywood in years, spotlighting Gene Kelly, Oscar Levant, Nina Foch, and a pair of bright newcomers (Leslie Caron and Georges Guetary) against a cavalcade of George and Ira Gershwin’s music. While it may not achieve quite the record runs racked up this season by M-G’s “Great Caruso” and “Show Boat,” it will tag right behind them to help widen that new exhibitor smile even more. Kelly is the picture’s top star and rates every inch of his billing. His diversified dancing is great as ever and his thesping is standout. But he reveals new talents in this one with his choreography. There’s a lengthy ballet to the film’s title song for the finale, which is a masterpiece of design, lighting, costumes and color photography. It’s a unique blending of classical and modern dance with vaude-style tapping, which will undoubtedly trailblaze new terp techniques for Hollywood musicals. British-made “Red Shoes” and “Tales of Hoffman,” of course, have initiated American art house patrons to such work but this one will hit the mass audience–and it’s going to hold ’em completely entranced.” – Variety , Aug 29, 1951 In English, French and German, with English subtitles.

Sherman’s March – 4K Restoration
40th Anniversary Screening Winner—Grand Jury Prize, 1987 Sundance Film Festival In this classic doc from 1986, director Ross McElwee sets out to make a film about a famous campaign during the American Civil War. But when a nasty breakup knocks him off course, his historical investigation turns into a deeply revealing and hysterically unsuccessful search for love. The resulting “meditation on the possibility of romantic love in the South today” is a comedic delight, an eclectic road movie propelled by McElwee’s wry narration and his eagle eye for offbeat Americana. In the 30 years since its initial award-winning release, Sherman’s March has only grown in stature and influence, securing a reputation as one of the great comedic masterpieces in the history of documentaries. It’s the crowning achievement of one of American cinema’s most original voices. Will Di Novi, Hot Docs

The Glass Orchestra
To complement the Summer 2026 exhibition, Plague Crystals by Natalia Romik, Koffler Arts is pleased to present The Glass Orchestra . Throughout its documented history of over 2,000 years, glass music has surfaced in many different cultures and forms. Founded in 1977, The Glass Orchestra (GO)— a quartet with Rick Sacks, Bill Parsons, Paul Hodge and Eric Cadesky —carries on the long tradition of glass music by designing, building, and playing glass instruments of all shapes and sizes, which altogether weigh half a ton! Drawing on a wide range of musical influences and performance techniques, the GO explores the unique sonic properties of glass, creating an ethereal, percussive soundscape with a vast array of glass instruments, both “found” and custom made. (The skill of the members in designing and making glass instruments has earned them a place in the New Grove Dictionary of Musical Instruments.)

Mary Oliver: Saved by the Beauty of the World
If poetry had a pop icon, Mary Oliver would be it. Celebrated bestseller, Pulitzer Prize winner, lover of dogs and long walks in the woods, openly queer but intensely private, Oliver was America’s unlikely contemporary mystic, stalking the ponds and forests of Cape Cod for nearly 50 years in order to open herself, and her readers, to the known and unknowable world. From a lonely childhood to literary fame, Oliver’s life was shaped by devotion to nature, paying attention, and the long journey toward learning to love and to be loved. Her poems inspire liberals and conservatives, atheists and believers, naturalists and urbanites, speaking directly to contemporary anxieties about attention, presence, and the human relationship with the natural world—issues that feel especially pressing in an era of climate crisis, digital distraction, and social fragmentation. Featuring interviews with her close friends, including John Waters, never-before-seen personal photos, notebooks, and correspondence from her archive, and recitations of her work by Stephen Colbert, Lucy Dacus, Steve Buscemi, and Oprah Winfrey, Mary Oliver: Saved by the Beauty of the World considers the poet’s long lifetime of work in context, capturing the uniqueness of her world and the natural beauty that inspired her.
