The
Toronto Classic Movie Festival or
ClassicFest is an annual event in
Toronto, Ontario, Canada which features nostalgia movies from the 1950s and earlier, especially
B-movies and
film noir classics. The first festival was held in 2004 at the
Regent Theatre in Toronto. It presented, as its opening night feature, the "director's cut" version of
A Touch of Evil, a movie written, directed, and starring
Orson Welles. The festival contributes a portion of its revenue to the local
Geneva Centre for Autism. The second festival featured a visit from
Yvette Vickers who was unable to attend the previous year due to bad health. That year, the festival's highlight was a late-night screening of
Attack of the Killer Leeches, followed by an intimate question and answer session with Ms Vickers, moderated by the festival's program director, Michael McLarney.
