It's time to put up a thread for the 34th TIFF, the biggest film festival in North America. It will run from Thurs. Sept. 10th to Sat. Sept. 19th. Can't wait. Should be a really exciting event.
This year we have new films from:
Werner Herzog (Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans)
Neil Jordan (Ondine)
Pedro Almodovar (Broken Embraces)
Jane Campion (Bright Star)
Manoel de Oliveira (Eccentricities of a Blond Hair Girl)
Tsai Ming-liang (Face)
Bruno Dumont (Hadewijch)
Alain Resnais (Wild Grass)
Todd Solondz (Life During Wartime)
Bruce Beresford (Mao's Last Dancer)
Danis Tanovic (Triage)
Joe Dante (The Hole)
George A. Romero (Survival of the Dead)
Drew Barrymore (Whip It)
Apichatpong Weerasethakul (A Letter to Uncle Boonmee)
Jean-Luc Godard (Une Catostrophe)
and
we have the World-Premiere of Michael Moore's latest,
CAPITALISM: A Love Story. Awesome. Hope to meet the man and express my admiration for what he's done for the world.
And of course almost 300 other films will be shown. (That's a whole lotta film, BROTHER!)
I'm also looking forward to seeing the documentary on the White Stripes' cross-Canada tour.
Most excellent.
With almost 20 separate programs to choose from, filmgoers have a smorgasbord of films to indulge in. For listings, see the website linked below.
