i did try. i tried YYZ and although they were quite

reply:
That's a big surprise, and disappointment! YYZ has

a commitment to showing film, including super 8 and
8mm. I had a month-long super 8 show there in 1996.

if you can find me a venue that would pay for a

Not on short notice.
Otherwise: Cinematheque Ontario's "Free Screen"
series; V tape?; and Portuguese Consulate might have
ideas.
