FILM | Sharkwater
This will be Walnut Studios' inaugural screening in what promises to be a series that offers an opportunity for different sectors of the Toronto arts community to come together to discuss their work. Tonight's film, Sharkwater will be a great opportunity for such a discussion, particular given city council's vote yesterday to ban shark fin products. This film, from director Rob Stewart, explores the shark's significance in ecological and evolutionary terms, and reveals it to be a crucial component in oceanographic life and the sustainability of our waters.
