Winning Movies Announced for Sail-In Cinema™ 2018 Promise to Take Audiences to Other Worlds

Sail-In Cinema™, presented by PortsToronto, is the world’s first two-sided floating movie experience of its kind. The free film festival transforms Toronto’s Sugar Beach into an outdoor movie theatre over two nights. Movies are chosen by public vote and shown under the open skies on a large, digital, two-sided screen set atop a barge in Toronto Harbour, allowing moviegoers to enjoy the films by land or by boat.

The inaugural Sail-In Cinema™ was held in 2011 to mark PortsToronto’s centennial year. The annual event attracts more than 10,000 people on land and 100 boats over the course of the event and is now a permanent fixture on Toronto’s summer calendar.

This year’s theme “In Other Worlds” will bring audiences courtside to watch the Looney Tunes face off against the Monstars in a high-stakes basketball game on Friday night, and will do it all again Saturday with a journey through the Goblin King’s maze in search of what matters most. Sail-in Cinema 2018’s winning movies and screening dates are as follows:

• Labyrinth on Friday, August 10
• Space Jam on Saturday, August 11

While Sail-In Cinema is a free event, there is limited seating on the landside and entry is subject to availability of space. Boat mooring will be available on a first-come, first-serve basis. Non-stop activities, food and entertainment will once again be offered by event sponsors prior to the start of each night’s feature film. Arrive early for a full evening of fun for all ages! Gates will open and pre-show activities begin at 5:00 p.m. each night, with the film starting at approximately 7:30 p.m.
