Toronto Outdoor Picture Show will kick off its summer-long “Dynamic Duos” series with an opening weekend at Fort York!

Adventure, the open road, and two great girl-friends. It starts out as a weekend getaway for the books, until things go horribly wrong and Thelma and Louise find themselves running from the law across state lines. Featuring cinema’s most defining female buddy duo, THELMA & LOUISE still conveys the sense of emotional urgency that it did for audiences almost three decades ago, a powerful #MeToo story long before the term was coined.

The Québécois short film BALLET JAZZ is a tailor-made companion to THELMA & LOUISE. Karine and Karine take to the highway for New York and a weekend audition for the “Cats” musical. One car breakdown and a couple of elaborate costumes later, the duo find themselves buoyed by their idols Thelma and Louise as they embark on a gas station robbery, with darkly comic consequences.
