DRIFF Screening: Star Wars Kid at the Oshawa Public Library
Join DRIFF for a FREE screening of Star Wars Kid: The Rise of the Digital Shadows on Thursday, March 26th at 6pm.
Before TikTok, before YouTube, and before "going viral" was a career path, there was the Star Wars Kid.
In 2003, a private moment of 15-year-old Ghyslain Raza practicing his lightsaber moves was uploaded online without his consent. Overnight, he became the world's first global meme—a "digital shadow" that followed him for nearly two decades. Now, Ghyslain is breaking his silence to take back his story. The Rise of the Digital Shadows isn't just a look back at an internet relic; it’s a powerful exploration of digital empathy, the right to be forgotten, and the resilience required to stand back up when the whole world is watching.

Driff Screening: Silver Linings Playbook at the Whitby Public Library
Join DRIFF for a FREE screening of Silver Linings Playbook on Thursday, May 7th at 6:30pm.
What happens when life doesn’t go according to the script? For Pat Solitano, it’s a journey from a psychiatric tall-tale back to his parents’ doorstep, armed with nothing but a jersey and a mantra: Excelsior. But the path to "normal" takes a detour when he meets Tiffany, a woman who challenges his optimism with her own unfiltered reality. Between the high-stakes obsession of Philadelphia Eagles football and the vulnerable steps of a local dance competition, Silver Linings Playbook reminds us that sometimes the best way to heal is to stop trying to fit in and start finding your own beat.
