  Symposium and opera is the screening of    Queen Christina. Join the Quee
 r Cinema Club at Paradise Theatre on Bloor on January 20th, 2025 to bask 
 in the glory of two true royals, Queen Christina of Sweden and Greta Garb
 o, as they come together as one in this incredibly queer pre-code movie f
 rom 1933! The film stars a 27-year-old Garbo as the titular 17th-century q
 ueen, a woman whose unconventional life has been scrutinized and represen
 ted from her own time to today. Her sexuality and gender have now for near
 ly 400 years been the subject of conjecture. And Garbo (a queer legend of 
 history in her own right) leans into this in her fiery portrayal of her. T
 he screening will coincide with the premiere of La Reine-garçon, running 
 from January 31 to February 15 at the Canadian Opera Company. Peter Knegt\
 , founder of the Queer Cinema Club, and musicologist Jane Forner and who 
 will offer some insight into the film, the opera and the history behind b
 oth! Tickets available from the Paradise website.  \n2 Sussex Ave Toronto\
