For the second year in a row, Torontonians can head on over to the Ontario Place Drive-In this summer for the Lavazza Drive-In International Film Festival. The 20-day event will be showcasing a ton of great films celebrating Canadian multiculturalism, with a special focus on Italian cinema.

The Lavazza Drive-In International Film Festival is presented in collaborations with Rogers Communications and Christie Digital, and funded by the Government of Ontario.
