The Cineforum maintains a digital archive of motion pictures and motion picture related materials dating back to the dawn of The Cinema. The Cineforum creator Reg Hartt has been described by The Montreal Gazette as \"One of Canada's foremost film archivists, lecturers, programmers and scholars.\" The Cineforum is unique in that it relies completely on its own efforts for its programs. It does not seek government funding. The Cineforum is listed by The Lonely Planet among the top sites to see in Ontario and in Toronto. Brit Painter Peter More has called it \"the most perfect place on earth in which to see a movie.\"  \u201cREG HARTT is what living in a metropolis is all about. He personifies the city as a meeting place of ideas, as a feast of experience and discussion and debate, as a triumph over the banal and soporific of the original and provoking .\u201d\u2013GLOBE AND MAIL.","link":"https:\/\/reghartt.ca\/cineforum\/?cat=47","name":"THE CINEFORUM","slug":"the-cineforum","taxonomy":"category","parent":0,"meta":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/reghartt.ca\/cineforum\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/categories\/47","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/reghartt.ca\/cineforum\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/categories"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/reghartt.ca\/cineforum\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/taxonomies\/category"}],"wp:post_type":[{"href":"https:\/\/reghartt.ca\/cineforum\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fposts&categories=47"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
