Men Explain Things to Us… And We Like It! Ep. 2 Toronto

Two impulsive, unpredictable, extravagantly gendered late-night talkshow hosts — Dasha Plett and Gislina Patterson — invite real life men into a cardboard and construction paper television studio to talk about their passions, fears, and what it’s like to be a man. Streamed live from Winnipeg, Men Explain Things to Us… And We Like It! uses the space between reality and performance to transgress and re-write the unwritten rules and social etiquette of gender relations. Men Explain… is presented with support from send+receive, Winnipeg Film Group, Manitoba Arts Council, and Canada Council for the Arts, and is directed by filmmaker Ryan Steel.

Venue Details:

This is a small DIY venue, so there are some details to note when attending the space.

There is one short set of stairs you must go down to get to the screening. Unfortunately, there is no lift at this venue. When you arrive, the door person will check your ticket and give you directions to the basement viewing space.

Please note that due to the venue's door system, there will be NO LATECOMERS admitted. Doors open an hour before the show, so it is reccommended to aim for being early.

We are so excited to see you there!
