Previously a writer for a variety of publications including the Toronto Star and Canadian editions of the Metro chain of newspapers, he joined Now in 2008 as its senior film writer. In a 2014 interview with Toronto Star writer Eric Veillette, he attributed his interest in film to the influence of his grandfather Percy, a longtime owner of Toronto's now-defunct Orpheum movie theatre.

Following the retirement of Steve Gravestock from the festival in late 2022, he became the festival's lead programmer for Canadian films beginning with the 2023 Toronto International Film Festival.
He has also served as secretary and vice-president of the Toronto Film Critics Association from 2008 to 2016, and as host of Someone Else’s Movie, a podcast where he interviews a film industry figure about other filmmakers' work that they admire.
His brother, Mike Wilner, is a sportswriter for the Toronto Star and a former play-by-play announcer for Toronto Blue Jays games.

# Meza (village)

## Description

Meza is notable for being the subject of the historical poem "Meza Hill" yadu, composed by minister Letwe Thondara during his exile from court, which sent him to the Meza area by the king, Hsinbyushin. During the Konbaung era, Meza was a remote area surrounded by vast forests and mountains, which made it rarely visited. It was also known for its extremely cold climate and the prevalence of malaria. So, he composed a poem depicting the hardships and harsh conditions of the Meza area and submitted it as a plea to the king. Moved by his words, the king showed mercy, granted him a pardon, and allowed him to return to court.
During the Myanmar civil war, Meza became a conflict and war zone between the Myanmar Army and local People's Defence Forces.

Projects have ranged from city-based installations and bus shelter ad-hacks to large-scale protests, contributing to local discussions on the role of street art in social activism.
Since appearing on the Guelph art scene in 2021, Lionel’s installations have highlighted neglected cultural sites and critiqued political issues, generating responses from both city officials and the public.

## Exhibitions and installations

# Torr Vale Mill

Torr Vale Mill is a Grade II* listed former cotton mill located in New Mills, Derbyshire, England, on a small rocky outcrop at the bottom of the Torrs gorge in a bend of the River Goyt.
The mill was built in the late 1780s by Daniel Strafford and was known as Strafford's Mill. It was powered by two waterwheels to spin and weave cotton. It was rebuilt in 1856 and a steam engine was added. It continued to be driven by steam and water till the 1940s when electricity took over. It was still in use producing towelling products until December 2000, the longest continuous period of cotton production in the UK. Since 1998 there have been various plans by the new owner, Chemquip Ltd., to renovate and develop the mill. This is now well underway and the new events floor has been used extensively by the community for a wide range of events. The Torr Vale Mill Preservation Trust in May 2001 and The Princes Regeneration Trust has also been seeking a solution.
In 2000 Torr Vale Mill was depicted on Royal Mail postage stamps to commemorate the Millennium Walkway in the Torrs Gorge. From this walkway, on the opposite side of the Gorge, dramatic views of the Mill may be had. In 2001 a fire destroyed one of the buildings of the mill. The mill remains in a lamentable state and, though now better secured, is at risk of further fire and vandalism. In 2010, Chad Bevan, a New Mills resident, won the Munro Trophy in the Derbyshire Open Arts Competition for his painting of the decaying Torr Vale Mill, the title being 'Lowes Mill'.
The Mill is on the English Heritage Heritage at Risk Register of Listed Buildings at risk through disuse and disrepair. The local Heritage Centre Trust is actively engaged in trying to secure the future of this abandoned building.
