INTRODUCTION TO SOUTH ASIAN FILM IN THE CITY
Welcome to
Thorncliffe Park Public School
Leaside Towers
This tour is significant for tour because the South Asian Culture can be represented in a tour of Thorncliffe Park, a community situated in East York with the highest population of immigrants most coming from South Asia. I found it interesting how various aspects of South Asian film could be represented in this community - which is also densely populated with South Asians. It would interesting for people to come on this tour because I feel many people aren’t aware of what South Asian film really is and how different it is in contrast with western films. South Asian films often themes of growth,the importance of education, children, food etc, all which can be represented through various landmarks in Thorncliffe Park. This tour is significant to Toronto Film History because Toronto being a highly diverse city, it’s essential to learn about the international films; Especially since a large population of Toronto is South Asian. Similar to the structure of this course, each stop is heavy on the history of each stop and explains the relevance of the stop and the relationship of the stop to the themes relevant in South
