Friday's here (with links). This week's newsletter is out, sign up for next week's! Here are today's picks:

Free Friday Film: Cría Cuervos
Innis Town Hall | 7:10p

Carlos Saura's 1976 film is worth catching on a proper screen. This series is an institution that far too few know about. Be prepared for a little soreness from the chairs from the same era.

Chefs Hall | 5p-10p

An indoor-outdoor Latin party at Chefs Hall with a dance class to start and then DJs spinning across the evening. Obviously lots of food there too if you feel like it.

Book Talk: Randy Boyagoda's Lords of Serendipity
Appel Salon, Toronto Reference Library | 7p-8p

The Appel Salon usually needs to be booked in advance, or you can wait in line because some people don't show up. Tonight it's a discussion about Randy Boyagoda's new campus satire novel, which follows two teenage girls navigating the global scramble for elite education across contemporary Sri Lanka and the US.
