About us
The Toronto Film Society is one of Canada’s oldest film appreciation groups. It was originally formed to meet the demand for Canadian and international forgotten, banned, independent, and fringe sound and silent films, and to support their preservation and restoration. It is a volunteer run, membership driven, non-profit organization dedicated to the study of the artistic, historic, and social significance of cinema. Our expertly-curated films (from 1910-80, of various genres) are shown on the big screen, as they were meant to be enjoyed. Some are rare archival prints not easily obtained by the general public. Our extraordinary series, festivals, and events engage diverse cinephiles of all ages from Toronto and beyond.

TFS Presents a Atomic Anxiety Double Feature
Paradise Theatre, 1006 Bloor Street West, M6H 1M2, Toronto, ON, CATwo landmarks in science fiction cinema, and both visions of collapse through a cosmic and human lens. Whether it’s a small town being invaded by aliens or a London newsroom watching Earth unravel itself, together they blend high quality spectacle with realism brilliantly. H.G. Wells' The War of the Worlds (1953) and The Day the Earth Caught Fire (1961) are still as smart and relevant today as they were when they were released, using the sci-fi genre to reflect on ideas of war, power, survival, and existence. This is the perfect double feature to watch on the big screen with a crowd!
