Every summer, the Toronto Reference Library hosts its Summer Afternoons at the Movies series. The program usually consists of Hollywood films that have either won or been nominated for an award. Past titles include Still Alice, Birdman and The Imitation Game, all of which received Oscars.

AGO, Centre for Contemporary Art
On the fifth floor of the AGO you can watch an avant-garde film as part of the contemporary art exhibit. Films are typically silent and play on a loop, and are usually 30 to 45 minutes long. The AGO switches them up 2-3 times a year. Access is included with the admittance cost.
