When the
gala screening ended and the endless river of spectators started pouring onto Toronto's King Street West, there were heated discussions, tears - wiping, and so many
other spontaneous reactions — like a comparative study of 12 Years a Slave and Django Unchained.
Other galas and special event
screenings include The Way, Way Back from writers / directors Nat Faxon and Jim Rash, «Gay - La» event G.B.F., Fanie Fourie's Lobola from South Africa (the centerpiece of the African Pictures section), Populaire from France, Papadopoulos and Sons from the U.K., Joe Swanberg's Drinking Buddies with Anna Kendrick and Olivia Wilder, and the documentaries Twenty Feet from Stardom, Inequality for All, and Somm.
Whether you're looking for a swanky
gala benefit, casual gathering of pet lovers in the park, luxury boat cruise, musical concert, comedy performance, dance party, film
screening, marathon or walk, family bowling day, convention or fair, flea market or yard sale, boutique shopping day, pet fashion show, cage comforter sewing day, or
other animal - related fun, these events sponsored by Alliance Participating Organizations (APOs) and
other New York City animal rescue and advocacy groups should not be missed!
