There's No Place Like This Place, Anyplace is a Canadian documentary film, directed by Lulu Wei and released in 2020.[1] The film profiles the issue of gentrification in Toronto, Ontario through the history, demolition and redevelopment of the historic Honest Ed's department store.[2]
The film premiered as part of the 2020 Hot Docs Canadian International Documentary Festival.[3] Due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Canada it was not screened theatrically, but premiered as part of the festival's online streaming component.[4]
On June 8, the film was named as one of five recipients of the Hot Docs Audience Award. Although it was not the overall winner of the audience balloting, in light of the pandemic situation and its ongoing effects on film distribution the award committee opted to split the award among all of the top five Canadian films.[5]
