Bleak Week: THE PLAGUE DOGS (1982) - Toronto Theatrical Premiere Of New Restoration!

Join us for the Toronto theatrical premiere of the new restoration of The Plague Dogs! ✨ Introducing this unique animated gem is film curator Brendan Ross.

Prepare for a film that's far from typical! 🐕🐾 This rarely-screened arthouse animation is not for the faint-hearted, so make sure to leave the kids (and pets) at home.

The Plague Dogs is a haunting sequel to 1978’s Watership Down, following the harrowing journey of lab dogs Snitter and Rowf as they escape from their torment in a secret facility, only to discover that the outside world is even more despairing. After accidentally breaking a vial from plague researchers, they find themselves the targets of a vicious human hunt.

In this narrative, animals are portrayed with authenticity, reflecting their true selves rather than our imposed ideals. The film features remarkable voice talents including John Hurt, Nigel Hawthorne, Judy Geeson, and Patrick Stewart. Don't miss out on this powerful experience!

📍 Location: 400 Roncesvalles Avenue, Toronto, ON, Canada M6R 2M9
