Archive: 4th-15th September 2007: Toronto International Film Festival / Torontoist
I’ve made it through another festival, admittedly one in which I was felled by the foul but inevitable “festival cold” roughly a week early (I got it on the first Saturday of the festival rather than the last) and this year I chose to put all of my day-to-day work on Torontoist. That’s not to say reviews and interviews from the festival won’t appear elsewhere, of course.
TIFF 2007 Preview: Special Presentations, Real To Reel And Canada First! – A review of Heavy Metal in Baghdad. Definitely my favourite documentary of the festival and certainly one of my favourite films.
TIFF 2007 Preview: Vanguard, Short Cuts Canada – A review of Help Me Eros and a selection from the Short Cuts Canada programme. Reviewing the Canadian shorts is one of my favourite tasks of the festival each year and although I utterly despised an (otherwise highly rated) short this year the rest were pretty okay.
TIFF 2007: No Fugitive Peace From The Festival – The festival begins!
TIFF 2007: Lust, Control – Reviews of Captain Mike Across America; Control and Lust, Caution.
TIFF 2007: Heavy Metal In Toronto – An interview with Suroosh Alvi, co-founder of Vice Magazine and co-director of Heavy Metal in Baghdad.
TIFF 2007: You, The Dead – Reviews of You, The Living and Diary of the Dead.
TIFF 2007: Erik Nietzsche Into The Wild – Reviews of Juno and Erik Nietzsche The Early Years.
TIFF 2007: Pixel Projections – Coverage of the Into the Pixel exhibition, held as part of the film festival’s Future Projections programme.
TIFF 2007: Run, Filmmaker, Run – Reviews of Operation Filmmaker and Run, Fat Boy, Run.
TIFF 2007: Cassandra’s Smiley Face – A review of Smiley Face.
TIFF 2007: The Rambow Fragments – Reviews of Son of Rambow and The Tracey Fragments (two of my favourite films of the festival) and Mad Detective.
TIFF 2007: Hirsute And The “Many Martys” Theory – An interview with A.J. Bond, director of Hirsute, the best short I saw at the festival.
TIFF 2007: Sukiyaki Western Django – A review of Sukiyaki Western Django, and the festival ends!
