Toronto Festivals & Events for This Weekend (Feb 20 - Feb 22)

🎬 Series Premiere: Rogue Psychology
Saturday, March 7, 7:00 - 9:00 PM
Hot Docs Ted Rogers Cinema

This one feels special.

A friend told me it’s the kind of event that sparks great conversations, and I can see why. Rogue Psychology blends documentary and social experiment to explore what really changes human behaviour in real life.

They’re screening three episodes:

  1. Curbing Social Media Addiction

  2. Making People Less Easily Offended

  3. Improving Creativity

After the screening, there’s a Q&A with the director, a surprise musical performance, and an after party at Super Wonder Gallery, so the night doesn’t just end when the credits roll.

Thoughtful, engaging, and a little different from your usual Saturday plans.
If you’re into psychology, culture, and creative conversations, this is worth checking out.

Let me know if you’re going - curious what you think!
