Off a main thoroughfare in downtown Toronto, Eva Pianezzola’s house is tucked within a quiet street of Victorian townhomes.

In ‘Spirit Rangers,’ Elders Playing Elders

Two Native American acting legends, Wes Studi and Tantoo Cardinal, have shared a dozen film sets since 1990, beginning with “Dances with Wolves,” but never the same scene.

Before entering the theatre to watch Jeff Barnaby’s Blood Quantum at the Toronto International Film Festival in 2019, I heard buzz for the type of Canadian movie that rarely gets excitable word-of-mouth. But this was different: an Indigenous-focused film that was also a zombie thriller.

TikTok is Making Perfume Accessible

Creators are dismantling the idea that perfume is a luxury product for people with expensive tastes. As an ’80s kid, I was introduced to perfume via the iconic powdery Love’s Baby Soft; the scent was everywhere — it was advertised in the teen magazines I read and worn by all my friends.
