FESTIVAL: Since its inception three years ago, the Manifesto Festival of Community and Culture has grown to encompass various aspects of hip-hop and urban culture by showcasing the work of more than 120 artists at eight venues over five days. Things get underway tonight with the Manifesto Film Festival, boasting a lineup of films that focus on urban art and music: the global graffiti documentary Bomb It and the story of pioneering Bronx hip-hop artists The Freshest Kids: A History of the B-Boy. Tonight's opening will also feature musical, spoken-word, and DJ performances. Other events to look forward to throughout the festival are the Canada Pro Cup B-Boy Championship, Chapter III Art Exhibition, Parkdale Youth Festival, and Sunday's free concert at Nathan Phillips Square headlined by hip-hop duo Talib Kweli and Hi-Tek as Reflection Eternal. Tomorrow’s unveiling of the Artmap, a collaborative jigsaw piece by artists from each of the city's forty-four wards is sure to be a highlight of the festival, as well. Acacia Centre (186 Spadina Avenue), 6–11 p.m., $5.
