Reg Hartt

The CineForum is located in the home of Reg Hartt who has been a fixture on the Toronto scene since the 1960s. Said TVO Host Elwy Yost, "Reg Hartt has a feel for film unique in this country…approaching genius level." Don't let that alarm you. Hartt is fun, lots of fun. He knows his stuff. Hanging in The CineForum is a full sized authorized replica of The Turin Shroud. For the last two decades and counting Hartt has been under attack. A series of anonymous posters meant to incite violence continue to go up on the streets daily: https://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/toronto/toronto-alternative-theatre-founder-stands-up-to-bullying-threats/article549053/ . It takes a strong person to stand up to attacks as withering as these. Hartt is a strong person. One of his long time friends, from her arrival in Toronto, was Jane Jacobs, the author of THE DEATH AND LIFE OF GREAT AMERICAN CITIES. Hartt has been called everything Jacobs wrote about. He is. What makes him that are the persistent attempts by the City Of Toronto and its anonymous allies to drag him down. https://www.thestar.com/news/gta/2016/06/27/cineforum-deserves-a-happy-ending-to-its-saga-keenan.html .For Jane Jacobs the best part of a Reg Hartt program was Hartt and what he has to say. She's not the only one: https://www.ranker.com/list/famous-male-orators/reference?page=3 .. Joe Fiorito wrote, "Reg Hartt teaches like Neal Cassady drove a truck." That is a helluva compliment. It means The CineForum is the coolest place on Toronto. It is also, wrote Chandler Levack, the best place in Toronto to take a date. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jICXAzPx9cE . “I have seldom felt a film’s greatness in film class. I often feel it at Reg Hartt’s.”—UofT Varsity.

5pm Thursday, September 9, 16, 23, 30. The CineForum, 463 Bathurst below College across from The Beer Store. 416-603-6643, Private. Admission free. Donations to the cost of the program are welcome.When I first saw this motion picture I was staggered by the color, the music, the editing of the film. I knew nothing about Frida Kahlo when I first saw it. I wanted to know everything about her after I saw it. I love bathing in this movie.
