Still from Your Tomorrow documentaryAn Ontario Place documentary called YourTomorrowis now available to stream for free online.The film, which had its theatrical premiere in December 2024 at Hot Docs Cinema in Toronto, was filmed over almost 100 days in the public space on Torontos waterfront and captures the final year of Ontario Place before its planned transformation into a private spa and waterpark.Earlier in 2024, it also played at the Toronto International Film Festival where it won a runner up Audience Choice award.Your Tomorrow is a powerful reminder of how public spaces not only bring us together but allow us to witness and appreciate the rich diversity of our province, said Alexandra Roberts, commissioning editor of TVO Docs. From casual beachgoers to dancers, gardeners, birdwatchers, and protestors, this documentary highlights how Ontario Place has served as a canvas for a wide range of individuals, each adding their own unique touch to the landscape.Still from YourTomorrow documentaryThe documentary follows a group of characters who use and care for this park over the course of a year. The audience sees the space evolve through the eyes of a security guard who has worked there for forty years, a pair of Taiwanese retirees who visit the park daily, and a swimmer and self-described cyborg who leads year-round lake dips. The film documents a transitional moment in the landscape of the city, and asks viewers to consider what modern cities should look like and what a diverse urban society requires to thrive.Ontario Place originally opened in 1971 with a vision of idealism and futurism, and was designed as a family-friendly oasis for those who couldnt afford cottages. Throughout the years, it became a public park spanning 155 acres of car-free land, that was cherished for its architecture, environment, and vibrancy.Director Ali Weinsteins Your Tomorrow not only reflects on its history and uncertain future, but also emphasizes the importance of such urban spaces, while exploring the impact on the lives of its visitors and staff. The film also prompts a discussion on urban development, community values, and the preservation of public spaces.Your Tomorrow not only is a film that captures the beauty of Ontario Place, said Weinstein, but also raises vital questions about the future of all public spaces.Still from Your Tomorrow documentaryThe film is written, produced, and directed byAli Weinsteinand produced byGeoff Morrison, with editing byCaitlin Duriak, cinematography byAndrew Moir, and an evocative score byJoseph Shabason.
