If, like us, you're mourning the passing of this summer's fantastic indie theatre festivals (Toronto Fringe, SummerWorks) and the novel, experimental shows that go with them, you'll be pleased to know No More Masterpieces theatre company is holding a very Fringe-esque production called The Girl Who Married a Ghost at the InterAccess Gallery at Queen and Ossington. This complex play bravely steps into the landmine of North American Aboriginal history and subtly comments on the work of prominent artists of various disciplines (photography, theatre, visual art) who did the same in their day.

FILM: The short films of surrealist French filmmaker Jean Painlevé are screening tonight at Cinematheque Ontario. Painlevé, whose films are a strange cross between fantasy and science, suffuses the lives of octopuses, butterflies, and seahorses with a dream-like beauty unseen in modern-day nature documentaries. He made over two hundred films in his lifetime, with five showing tonight alongside Blood of the Beasts by ultra-realist Georges Franju, which depicts the grisly interiors of a late 1940s slaughterhouse. Cinematheque Ontario (317 Dundas West) 9 p.m, FREE.
