CORKTOWN COMMON

Thursdays
July 3 TO August 7, 2025

This summer, Corktown Common residents can look forward to more Thursday evening screenings! In celebration of TOPS’ 15th anniversary year, from July 3 - August 7, the When We Were Young programme features coming of age classics young and old, including groundbreaking new kids on the block from the past decade (Moonlight, Challengers and Speed Sisters), middle-aged Gen X and Millennial stalwarts (Dazed and Confused, Stand by Me), and venerable golden-agers from cinematic eras past (What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?).

As always, attendees are treated to excellent short films by local and Canadian filmmakers paired with each feature. This programme invites you to lay a blanket in the grass and gaze up at the films that take us back to the times When We Were Young (however recent or distant).

You can support Toronto Outdoor Picture Show's free, accessible cultural programming with a tax-deductible donation.
