Interfaith movie nights are a fun opportunity to relax and connect. Every month we will show films highlighting a diverse array of faith traditions and experiences.
Lights for Gita is a short animated story about Gita, an 8-year-old girl who can't wait to celebrate Diwali - the Hindu festival of lights - in her new home in Canada. As she experiences the glittering beauty of the icy streets outside, the traditional festival of lights comes alive in a sparkling new way.
Koran by Heart follows a global contest reading of the Quran by young Muslim children that takes place in Cairo, Egypt annually during Ramadan. A coming of age story about Muslim kids in modern times.
The screening will take place at Main Activity Room in Koffler House, (569 Spadina Crescent), where we will provide a safe and inclusive space for all attendees. Following the screening, there will be a casual talkback session to think through the themes and experiences on-screen. We look forward to sharing these powerful and meaningful film with you.
