Extroverted Doug and shy Peter are unlikely friends whose relationship slowly begins to morph into something different over the course of a school year at the University of Toronto. Widely credited as being A) the first English-language Canadian feature to play Cannes, B) Canada’s first queer film, and C) the film that inspired David Cronenberg to become a filmmaker, WINTER KEPT US WARM is an underseen but true landmark film, newly restored in 4K by Canadian International Pictures.

Screening with a video introduction by Queer Cinema: Lost & Found programmer Elizabeth Purchell.
