This program is in partnership with TVA films for their film BRIGHT STAR which will be opening in major theatres across Canada on September 18th.
BRIGHT STAR, which is a historic love story about the life and times of the famous poet John Keats, will be premiering as a favorite at the Toronto International Film Festival in September. It stars Abbie Cornish and Ben Whishaw and is directed by Academy Award Winner Jane Campion. It is a very special film to the studio and the surrounding literature, poetry and spoken word community in many cities across Canada and throughout the US and England because of the impact Keats had on the literary world.
