The Christie Pits film festival has announced its summer 2016 programming and theme. The sixth year of the outdoor screening series is called Stranded in Christie Pits! and features films "exploring themes of isolation, confinement, escape, and perseverance" beginning June 26 and running until August 28.

Dust off your park blankets and watch Sandra Bullock float around the sky with opening film Gravity, and catch the first-ever Pride affiliated film night showing Rae Spoon doc My Prairie Home alongside adorably titled short films The Little Deputy and Handsome & Majestic.
