Every month at the Paradise Theatre, curator and host Peter Knegt is offering queers (and anyone who loves them) a classic queer film, special guests and performers, and some good old fashioned drinks and conversation in the Paradise’s stunning lobby bar. Each film is paired with a different local queer artist, who will design an original poster for the screening. On September 25th, we celebrate one of (if not the) greatest queer filmmakers of all-time: Pedro Almodóvar! The living legend — who is debuting his first English-language feature The Room Next Door earlier in the month — will be turning 75 on that date, and Queer Cinema Club will lead the Toronto celebration of that milestone by screening one of his many masterpieces, 2011’s The Skin I Live In. Described by Almodóvar himself as  a horror story without screams or frights,” The Skin I Live In follows skilled plastic surgeon Dr. Robert Ledgard (Antonio Banderas, serving), who is trying to develop a new skin that could save the lives of burn victims. After a decade of work, he has finally created a skin that guards the body, but is still sensitive to touch. With the aid of his faithful housekeeper (Marisa Paredes), Ledgard tests his creation on Vera (Elena Anaya), who is held prisoner against her will in the doctor's mansion. A melodramatic thriller that only Almodóvar could pull off, The Skin I Live In’s themes of memory, degradation, grief and survival feel like exactly what the filmmaker might want us to ponder at his own birthday party.  We’ll also have a pre-show featuring a Almodóvarian-inspired performance from one of our other all time favourites, Gay Jesus. And we invite everyone who joins us to please come dressed inspired by Pedro. That could mean a general vibe or a specific film, whatever suits you best. We’ll have a few great prizes for the most impressive among you! Get your tickets, and thank you so much to Doug Rodas for creating this perfect poster, which will be for sale at the screening. See you soon, queers!

Best Things to Do

M69***65

The CN Tower is really impressive. Take the high-speed elevator to the top and stand on the glass-floored observation deck, overlooking the Toronto city scenery and Lake Ontario. The view is breathtaking. The revolving restaurant is also a great experience, enjoying the panoramic view while enjoying the food. It is worthy of being a Toronto landmark and is worth a visit.

The Royal Ontario Museum is amazing, with a unique architecture that combines classical and modern styles. The museum has a rich collection of exhibits on natural sciences, world culture and other subjects, especially the Chinese exhibition hall, where a large number of exquisite cultural relics show the profound Chinese cultural heritage. It is a treasure trove that allows people to immerse themselves in it and gain a lot.

Casa Loma

Historic buildings

Casa Roman Castle is truly amazing! From the moment you step in, it seems to be back to medieval Europe. The castle is unique in style, with gothic spires and exquisite carvings, showing the luxury and mystery. The interior is even more gorgeous, with elegant study rooms and mysterious towers, each room full of stories. The tower overlooks downtown Toronto with a panoramic view and intoxicating.

Art Gallery of Ontario

Immediate access

The Art Gallery of Ontario is a very attractive museum designed by the architect Frank Gehry. Its appearance is like a crystal ship, with a strong sense of modern art. The glass wall and glass wings on the north side of the main entrance glow under the lights at night, creating a beautiful scenery. The spiral staircase in the museum fully demonstrates Gehry&#39;s design talent.
