: Film Jam 2
A Success.

The Landed
Film Jam 2 was a huge success with over 300 people packed
into the historic El Mocambo on a rainy Thursday night. A ton of money and canned food was raised
for the Poorest of the Poor Foundation and the roof almost
blew off with some of the finest and most talented bands,
DJ’s, artists and filmmakers in Toronto.
People exploded
with laughter at the exploits in “Big
City,” and had their minds blown by the thoughts
of “Happy Hour.” They grooved along with soulful
styling of the Hip-Hop trio, Everything’s That’s
Fly, which featured a crowd-pleasing cover of a Fugee’s
classic and had their perception altered by the ever-evolving
Mindbender. The crowd also had their hearts melted
by the melodic duo, Dala, rocked along to the smokey vocals
of Negar and the show closed out with a massive bang that
almost brought the Elmo to the ground with Automatic City. All
of this was complimented with the eye-catching and mind-expanding
artists: Theresa Talotta, Jibola and Ilichna Morasky. The
joint was kept fresh by DJ’s Awristoscrtach, Ear-to-Ear
and Kotep who spun the 1’s and 2’s like it
was going out of style!
Hosted by
the beautiful and talented Skye Collyer, the Film Jam
2 has set the bar again for showcasing local talent and
celebrating Toronto. A special thank you goes
out to all the Filmmakers, artists, DJ’s and bands
that made the night a huge success. In one night,
every genre from folk to hip hop and anything in between
converged at the El Mocambo, and if everyone thought that
was huge, you haven’t seen anything yet!

The lineup for the biggest party
in Toronto keeps growing as the Film Jam II fast approaches. In
keeping with the diversity theme, Myles Kennedy, a country
act, Negar, a rock-ethnic fusion band, Dala, a soft-folk
duo and Automatic City a rock band have been confirmed
to perform on the second floor of the historic El
Mocambo on November 16th. Accompanying them will
be the hip-hop/R&B blend of Everything That’s
Fly. For more information on these and all the other
acts, check out the LINEUP page.
All of the performers are guaranteed to blow the roof
off the El Mo, so buy your tickets today and celebrate
art on November 16th!
DON’T FORGET, as always, half of
the bar sales will be going to the Poorest of the Poor
foundation and we’ll
be collecting non-perishable food items at the door.
