TIFF Coverage is Officially Open
I just wanted to make sure that everyone knows that the TIFF section of the site is now officially open. I’m constantly (okay well not constantly but close too it) the list of movies that are being shown at this years festival.
Each movie is receiving its own post and I will post as much information as I am able to track down. If you have information about any of the movies feel free to jump in and comment on the posts and I’ll add the information in. I also want to just say thanks to Twitch for providing a great resource for the trailers. Its been a big help so far.
Please also feel free to say if you are planning on attending any of the movies in the comments section for the movie. Hopefully we can all arrange to meet up a few times through the 10 day of movie heaven.
Click here for the TIFF section.
I’ve posted a list of all the movies that I have started posts for below the seat.

Oh and I almost forgot. Since this is a completely seperate section of the website. The first time you leave a comment I will have to approve it and then comments will show up. Sorry for this but we’ve got some pretty intense spammer activity.

both showings of Che and both showings of Spike Lee’s Miracle of St Anna are in the Visa Screening room which means those of us who bought ticket packages (10 or 30) have no access to these films. Otherwise you have to pay $35 a ticket to see them… who exactly is going to these films?

I’m going to be really miffed if there is no opportunity for people who bought passes to see some of the films. I noticed “The Good, The Bad and The Weird” is on both the RTH (Roy Thompson Hall) and Elgin schedules which makes it feel unlikely that it will be anywhere else.
Comparing to last year, there were only 2 films that played at both of those locations plus a third one later.
I don’t go for the big name US films, but I really want to see this one. I guess we won’t know until next week.

I don’t mind the big name North American ones hitting only the big extra pay venues but the ones that won’t get a wide release like The Good, The Bad and The Weird better show up where I will get to see them with my Festival Pass otherwise I’ll be quite annoyed.

add Blindness to the list of films that are playing twice at the Elgin (and therefore not available for regular passes).
Also I just realized Ryan Fleck and Anna Boden, directors of the brilliant Half-Nelson have a new film, Sugar, premiering at TIFF. Look forward to that, despite it being about baseball.
And Will Oldham is back at acting in Wendy and Lucy, by the same director of Old Joy, another one I will probably check out.

“Sugar” actually premiered at Sundance and the GreenCine folks have a nice collection of reviews, most of them exceptionally positive.
Comment by Marina Antunes — August 21, 2008 @ 2:43 pm
yeah I took a guess and was wrong. oh well still a premiere to me.

Will Oldham has a pretty big role in THE GUATEMALAN HANDSHAKE, a good film that i’ve been struggling with trying to review. Produced by David Gordon Green and a true American independent film with very, very high production values.
