Between the Playhouse and Westdale indie/arthouse reboots, it will be interesting to see how the AGH frames its film programming, and how it impacts their attendance. By the time the gallery's marquee film festival lands in mid-October, for example, there will be two or more local screens dedicated to showing the same kind of films that the AGH typically does, only far more frequently. The AGH has tended to fill the void left by the closure of the Broadway (20 years ago this summer) but if the cinematic ecosystem improves, that may become vestigial/redundant.
