A film festival for Canadian-based artists and work marginalized by Canadian festivals and institutions.

The #MUFFSociety (Monthly Underground Female Film Society) kicks off its monthly series this Thursday night at The Royal Cinema (608 College St.) with a special screening of Spice World.

On January 28, she will join author Sheila Heti at the Toronto Reference Library (789 Yonge St.) to talk about her debut novel of ‘The First Bad Man’.
