Event Details

The Human Rights Watch Toronto Network invites you to join us at the Closing Night Reception of the Fourth Annual Human Rights Watch International Film Festival co-presented with Cinematheque Ontario on Thursday, March 8, 2007 featuring JOHN & JANE Directed by ASHIM AHLUWALIA John & Jane is an astonishing look at the souls of the outsourced. Shot on 35mm and composed with unsettling grace, this documentary finds an entirely original and fitting language to express the eerie dislocation of virtual work. The lives it depicts are real, but the film's approach gives those lives the scope of speculative fiction. Human Rights Watch is pleased to host guest speakers: Hannah Simone Hannah is a MuchMusic VJ. Equally passionate about both world issues and pop culture, Hannah’s ready to offer a well-informed and well-spoken perspective on everything from global human rights to the latest music trends. and Raj Girn Raj is the Publisher and Founder of Anokhi magazine, which uses media as a vehicle to celebrate humanity as a whole; to effect the emancipation of women and men, without gender, social, cultural, religious or political barriers. Reception at 7.00 p.m. Bau-Xi Gallery 340 Dundas Street West Film Screening at 8.45p.m. Art Gallery of Ontario Jackman Hall (McCaul Entrance) 317 Dundas St. West Tickets- $ 25 per person (includes film and reception).
