ACTRA Toronto is a proud sponsor of this year’s @MayworksToronto, where artists and working people come together to inspire action and solidarity. The recent screening of Tall El-Zataar (1977) was a powerful reminder of how art carries the stories of resistance across generations and borders. A powerful work of documentary filmmaking achieved despite extraordinary circumstances. The festival runs until May 31 — and admission is FREE! Reserve tickets for films, exhibits, and community events at: mayworks.ca A few highlights you won’t want to miss: 📍 Derailing Dignity – A sculptural exhibit on migrant gig workers' realities.
