Submissions
Not a Film Festival. A Film Night.
Toronto Revue is a new kind of screening event designed to bring filmmakers and audiences back into the same room.
No red carpets.
No submission fees.
No empty theaters.
Just local independent films, real audiences, and a relaxed environment where filmmakers and film lovers can connect.
Hosted in a lounge setting at the Madison Avenue Pub, Toronto Revue blends cinema, conversation, and community into a unique screening experience.
