Are you a senior looking for unique art experiences, love film and meeting fellow life-long learners? This month, we are screening Any Other Way: The Jackie Shane Story (2024). This documentary film is 100 minutes and will be screened in our Ledcor Theatre located in the lower level of the Gallery. Following the film, we invite participants to partake in a lively discussion with light refreshments in one of our education studios.

About the Film: Directed by Michael Mabbott and Lucah Rosenberg-Lee, this film highlights the life and career of Jackie Shane, a Black trans soul singer, who rose to fame in the local Toronto music scene in the 1960s, helping to shape that era's R & B sound. Her success reached its peak with the release of Any Other Way in 1967 and cemented her reputation as a queer icon in Canada. In the early 1970s, Shane suddenly vanished from the public scene only to reemerge in the 2010s in a series of CBC radio interviews.

A unique look into the music legend's incredible story, this film features archival materials, interviews, rotoscope animation, an original soundtrack and never-before-heard phone conversations with the musician shortly before her death in 2019 at the age of 78.
