This
video docu-tale is about the short, fairytale-like walk
between Casa Loma and the city's smallest house - the Nano
Castle.
It
will be shown in a number of store
windows on St Clair Ave as part of the Arts Week events.
A
little girl finds a tiny red slipper by Casa Loma. The castle
is too big for this little slipper. She embarks on a journey
through our neighbourhood to look for the little nano castle
where she will be sure to find the matching little slipper.
She finds the nano castle, less than 3 meters in width,
and a giant 4-meter, red slipper knitted by women in the
neighbourhood. Delighted, she enters the house.
As we follow the little girl in search of her slipper, an
intertwining story about the builder of Casa Loma, a coniving
knight and financier, who controlled the city's electrical
supply, and the working men and women who built the houses
in our neighbourhood, will be revealed.
This modern fairytale is told like a cable news story and
will be shown in September 2003, during Arts Week, on TV
monitors in commuinty centers, libraries and in local shops.
