About this event
Come and join us on Canada's Multiculturalism Day (June 27) and watch our shoe stories told as short films.
Five alumnae from The Shoe Project will present short films they created based on their own shoe stories. The films are made in their own voice and cinematic style and in collaboration with Gerda Cammaer, Associate Professor in Film at Ryerson University, and independent filmmaker Serene Husni.
