Toronto Port authority offers nautical night of film at sail-in theatre
On Thursday at lunch, the tug boat Patrick D. will tow a 60-foot by 100-foot sectional barge into the harbour, just off the lake wall from the Corus building, and cast 500-foot anchors off its four corners, with one-inch rope, to anchor it to the bed of Lake Ontario.

In the afternoon, workers with Fresh Air Cinema will install a 40-foot by 30-foot, two-sided screen bisecting the barge, and a projector at each end. And when night falls the projectors will roll, spooling out a classic nautical tale: the 1956 Disney adaptation of Jules Verne’s 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, in which Kirk Douglas battles a giant squid.

“Torontonians want movies,” says Suzanna Birchwood, a spokeswoman for the port authority. “It doesn’t matter how or what or where.”
