About this event
FilmMagicLand, The first feature film from Toronto’s own Jaymz Bee (co-directed with Jason J. Brown and co-written with poet Robert Priest), is a joyful, all-ages musical fantasy bursting with colour, comedy, and songs spanning every style imaginable.
When Athena, goddess of wisdom, falls for a handsome mortal poet, she trades her immortality for a shot at human love and slides down a rainbow into MagicLand, a whimsical realm full of scheming leprechauns, singing sirens, a grumpy cyclops, a lovable ogre named Oggie, and a kindly wizard. But when she finally meets the man of her dreams, Athena discovers the greatest magic of all is simply being yourself.
Starring Irene Torres and featuring local heroes including Barbra Lica, Denielle Bassels, Lori Cullen, Jef Farquharson, and many more, MagicLand is a homegrown love letter to Toronto’s music and arts community, and a big-hearted adventure for the whole family.
