Description

Eggs rolls. General Tao. Fried rice. A fortune cookie. For many, the Christmas season is not complete without the one-two punch of Chinese food and a good movie. Join us for a screening of our new holiday favourite Dreaming of a Jewish Christmas, accompanied by a selection of Chinese classics from Toronto's iconic Taste of China Seafood Restaurant. An ode to the Jewish composers who have penned some of our most famous holiday songs, Larry Weinstein’s fun and irreverent film explores how the music of Irving Berlin, Mel Tormé, Jay Livingston and more shaped the soundtrack of the season, and in doing so, transformed a Christian holy day into a secular celebration.

Doors Open/Food Served: 1:00 PM
Screening: 2:15 PM
