Tomorrow (Aug. 27) is a day that local film buffs have been waiting a long time for — specifically, since Feb. 20 of this year, when the Queen West branch of Suspect Video burned to the ground during last winter's
horrible fire. As
reported in EYE WEEKLY shortly after the blaze, store manager
Daniel Hanna was already hard at work at planning a new "video and culture" shop even before the last embers on Queen Street had died out, and after six months, the hard work has paid off: as announced this week to members of the "Suspect Video RIP" Facebook group, Hanna's new video store,
Eyesore Cinema, will open this Wednesday, Aug. 27 at 3pm on the second floor of 801 Queen W. (located conveniently above
the new location of Rotate This). Check the store's
blog for details about membership info.
