Contest: Win tickets to an evening with John Singleton

As part of Black History Month and TD's Then & Now celebrations, the CFC is hosting an evening with filmmaker John Singleton, whose best-known projects include Shaft, and Boys N the Hood (which he directed at just 23). He was also the first black filmmaker to be nominated for an Oscar. TIFF will honour his impressive body of work with an evening of film clips, conversation, and audience Q & A. It'll be a great opportunity to pick the brain of a filmmaker who has consistently brought bold and compelling characters to the screen.

Sound good? Read on for how to get your hands on a pair of tickets.
