In these pages, you'll find my annual reports from the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF). Unlike Cannes and Sundance, the TIFF is geared towards pleasing crowds, not industry players, and with over 300 films screened every year, it grants moviegoers access to talent (via in-theatre Q&As and the like) on a much larger scale than Telluride. (Deals are brokered and careers are made at Toronto, but the trades tend not to emphasize this fact.) I've yet to sit through a public screening at the TIFF that wasn't met with at least modest enthusiasm--the Canadian crowd relishes the opportunity to have their reactions seen (read: heard) by the directors, producers, writers, and stars of motion pictures great and small. I can only hope you get a similar pleasure out of reading these articles.-Bill Chambers |
