For the next instalment of The Piston movie night series we feature two classic Xmas movies filmed in Toronto!

This is a free event - doors at 7pm

Please join us for this joyous, er, murderous holiday presentation of:

-8pm The Silent partner 1978 dir/ Daryl Duke

" This movie must be one of the greatest holiday-themed bank heist stories ever. It stars Elliot Gould in the leading role as a socially awkward bank teller who quickly finds himself in the deep end of a bank heist plan gone awry..."

-10pm Black Christmas 1974 dir/ Bob Clark (also directed A Christmas Story!)

"...Black Christmas is a holiday classic and a film that builds horror's foundation for more than its kills. It is with us 45 years later because of how it establishes tropes and how it presents a depiction of being a woman in a real and authentic way"

*Piston will have a few treats like popcorn and donuts but feel free to bring your own snacks

*We provide Adirondack type chair seating on the dance floor area

Excited to announce our guest dj this month! Multifaceted DJ/Producer R-oderick has deep roots in Toronto’s techno/electronic music scene as a pillar to its sprawling communities. Although his bite is fierce his tastes are full spectrum still clinging to his soulful roots as one half of Ebony. His sound runs a vast spectrum of bleak, dark and heavy compositions and soulful melodies having work on such labels as Sonic Groove, Pinkman, Nodding heads, Jericho One, Forth, R-ZONE and Opal tapes and a recent release with Jordan Gardner with the project EBONY on MTL based label Moonshine.

Love Tempo is a new queer friendly monthly House music dance party on the 2nd Saturday every month.

Host dj Kiki LeFreak is a local fav and we’re very excited to have her host this party. Since coming out of retirement she's taking the city on by storm playing at countless venues including her own events - Shango and Love Tempo. Kiki LeFreak always keeps your body moving, playing all the goodies of House Disco and Funk! Kiki's dj sets are like a jack in the box surprisingly explosive! Get ready for a night of utter bliss!
*Stayed tuned for Kiki’s special guest dj announcements!
