As with the Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah in January, the SXSW Film Festival in Austin, Texas in March, the Philadelphia Film Festival in Philadelphia in April, and the Tribeca Film Festival in New York in April-May, I will be attending the Toronto International Film Festival in September.
This year's festival runs from September 7-16 and is considered the premiere film festival in the Western hemisphere, 2nd only to Cannes. Many films have their world or North American premieres there.
I will be posting reviews and pictures of the actors and directors I meet. Most films are premieres, and are attended by the cast & crew. They always stay afterwards for a Q&A and the audience gets a chance to sit with them and then meet them afterwards. There is occasionally a party afterwards as well.
