This morning the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) announced the line-up for their 2010 festival, of which I will be attending, and it is an absolute dream listing of films including upcoming films from directors such as Darren Aronosky, Robert Redford, John Madden, Ben Affleck, Francois Ozon, Mike Leigh, Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu, Rowan Joffe, Tony Goldwyn, Tom Hooper, George Hickenlooper, Andrew Lau, Guillaume Canet, Sylvain Chomet, Susanne Bier, Ryan Fleck and Anna Boden, Mark Romanek, John Cameron Mitchell, Julian Schnabel, Woody Allen, Michael Winterbottom, Stephen Frears… and on, and on, and on… The festival takes place from September 9 to 19 and I will be there through the 16th and am now only hoping I can catch as many of these as possible.
I have listed everything below and linked the titles that are already in the RopeofSilicon database as well as included links to my reviews for the six films I already saw at Cannes.
For now this is just an introduction to TIFF. I will be doing a lot more leading up to the festival. For now just do your best not to drool on your keyboard.
