CFMDC @ CineCycle

CINEMA AND EVENT SPACE RENTALS

 

Toronto film fans will know and love CineCycle, an underground cinema and bicycle repair shop opened by Martin Heath in 1991 and housed in the coach house at 401 Richmond since 1994. CineCycle has been an essential part of Toronto’s indie and experimental film community since its inception. In order to steward that legacy into the future, the CFMDC recently took over management of CineCycle’s operations. CFMDC@CineCycle marks a new chapter for this historic space—a place where cinema and cycles continue to co-exist.

TERRITORY & SOLIDARITY: The daily work of CFMDC takes place in Tkaronto (Toronto) which is covered by Treaty 13 signed with the Mississaugas of the Credit, and the Williams Treaty signed with multiple Mississaugas and Chippewa bands. We also acknowledge The Dish with One Spoon treaty between the Anishinaabe and Haudenosaunee that covers the land of what is now called southern Ontario. We work with the knowledge of the importance of recognition of the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples and the four First Nations Principles of OCAP®. As a Media Arts organization we draw your attention to the work of the National Indigenous Media Arts Coalition (NIMAC). As part of  anti-colonial solidarity, CFMDC board and staff proudly commits to the Palestinian Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel (PACBI). Calls to support PACBI and the wider Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) come from Palestinian civil society and are grassroots strategies opposing the colonization of Palestine by directly targeting complicity.
