	Toronto International Film Festival - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) is widely considered to be one of the top film festivals in the world and is the premiere film festival in North America from which the Oscars race begins.
		Between 300-400 films are screened at approximately 23 screens in downtown Toronto venues.
		The festival is considered a launch pad for many studios to begin "Oscar-buzz" for their films; for example, Taylor Hackford's Ray premiered at the festival and garnered much attention for Jamie Foxx's portrayal of Ray Charles (for which he ultimately won the Academy Award for Best Actor).

		A large part of the enjoyment in attending a film festival of Toronto's magnitude is the chance to get caught up in stories unfolding against a wide range of international locations.
		At the 29th Toronto fest, some of the European locales on view were exotic in their allure, while others were recreations of famous cities during pivotal times in history.
		While big-studio boutique films generated their own buzz, a number of lower-flying entries in the Toronto Film Festival pushed boundaries, possibilities and sometimes credibility.

		The Festival was well organized, as it was last year, and has even seen some improvements—most notably in the theater screenings.
		This time the bulk of films were held at two theaters within a few blocks of each other, and of the press office.
		The festival concluded more or less uneventfully, with the exception of the ruckus caused by death threats by animal activists over a documentary about a vicious cat killer.

		The people behind the Toronto International Film Festival have released yet another list of titles that will be featured at this year's event, the great majority of which are world premieres, added to the slate to increase TIFF's profile as a film market.
		Festival co-director Noah Cowan believes the fact that filmmakers are choosing to debut in Toronto rather than at major European festivals is a sign of TIFF's rising status, and says that he's fielded calls from major American distributors about nearly every film on this list.
		The organizers of the massive Toronto International Film Festival announced the names of all 25 of their North American premieres (a number that amounts to about 2% of the roughly 30 zillion movies that will screen at the fest) yesterday, and it looks like Toronto is setting up to be Cannes West.

		Founded in 1976 as the Festival of Festivals, TIFF really achieved its critical mass in the 1980s as a new generation of independent Toronto filmmakers, including Atom Egoyan, Bruce McDonald and Patricia Rozema—themselves emboldened by what the fest privileged them to see—emerged with a crop of startlingly original first features.
		TIFF became the undisputed highlight of the city’s cultural life, and the catalyst and convergence point for its nascent filmmaking community.
		Toronto is often the launching point for the American studios’ prestige films, who hope that the buzz surrounding their festival launch will propel them into box-office successes and Oscar contenders.

	Towards World Domination: The 30th Toronto International Film Festival
		The festival’s increased power to draw premieres means that more and more films arrive as unknown quantities – and, though there’s no evidence to proclaim a trend, I think I experienced a slightly lower ratio of hits to misses than in previous years.
		Among the prestige films that debuted at Toronto before their theatrical releases was Roman Polanski’s pleasing Oliver Twist (2005), a light-footed adaptation (by Ronald Harwood) that nudges the familiar material toward eccentricity rather than pathos and sadism, toward an evocation of English ambience rather than expressionism.
		The film is a showcase for the oily charisma of Georg Friedrich, playing Kurt, a ne'er-do-well and gambling addict who threatens to take the film down with him to the depths of sociopathic self-destruction.

	Montreal Mirror : Film : Toronto International Film Festival
		This would-be bacchanal is the opening-night party of the Toronto International Film Festival, and it's ostensibly to celebrate Deepa Mehta's Water, the opening film of the fest.
		Every year, the TIFF opening party is notoriously lame, but earlier, at the film's actual premiere at Roy Thomson Hall, the celeb pickings weren't quite as slim.
		One perennially hot event on the TIFF social calendar is Norman Jewison's annual Canadian Film Centre BBQ, a prime locale for dehydration, minor celeb-spotting, and of course, for me, another chance at total humiliation at the hands of Canadian B-listers.

	Toronto International Film Festival 00 - Award Winners
		The Toronto International Film Festival, 2000 edition, wrapped on Sunday, September 17th with the annual Awards Brunch at the Four Seasons Hotel.
		Sponsored by the National Film Board of Canada, this award carries a cash prize of $2,500 along with $7,500 worth of NFB Filmmakers' Assistance Program (FAP) benefits to be applied against the costs of a future production.
		Not all of these films will find the audiences, much less the distributors, they deserve, but the fact that they exist at all is enough to keep the years at bay.

		(The film's title is also the basis of the name of the Gus Van Sant film.) Too bad there was only a handful of us there; it’s been my experience at TIFF that new and current films are often much better attended than older ones.
		Picking up on the 'Last Year at Marienbad' comments, I remember reading in some film magazines from the time that there was a theory that when she is wearing a white dress she is telling the truth and when she is wearing a fl dress she is not.
		I was in Toronto in October 1999 for work, I went to one of the cinema's and think I picked up a programme, it had Peter Lorre on it from, I think 'M'.

		The Toronto International Film Festival is in full swing and I’ve seen too many early morning films and gone to too many late night parties.
		This year it is Leonard Cohen I’m Your Man. The film consists of interviews and old film clips, as well as excerpts from a tribute concert held in Australia earlier this year.
		Not because the film was poorly done, but because I didn’t like the character around whom the film was focussed.

		Each year, in one of the most popular sidebars of the Toronto International Film Festival, a top couple of dozen Canadian features (chosen this year out of more than 150), and an equal number of shorts, are put together in the Perspective Canada program.
		David Cronenberg, whose British-set movie, Spider, is an official gala selection this year, told the Cannes International Film Festival audience in May that he was sure it would be possible to analyze his work as Canadian, or for that matter, "Southern Ontarian" in its sensibility.
		Mehta, who made the film after her Indian drama, Water, was shut down by Hindu extremists in India, has called her film a "love letter to Toronto." Yet it's a Toronto portrayed in a way that will probably be a surprise to many Canadian viewers.

	Hour.ca - Film - Toronto International Film Festival dispatch
		Maybe because when the international cinema displayed at our festival used to be at one point interesting, the selections have become so dull that we feel like we need big names attached to the films to make them more interesting and draw in a bigger crowd.
		That's what a film festival is supposed to have, not some lethargic forced hope that maybe things won't be that bad.
		I may not like Toronto as a city but at this time of the year I'd give anything to be there.
