Toronto International Film Festival – TIFF

September 10, 2018 Erin Torsney

This year marks the 42nd annual Toronto International Film Festival also known as TIFF. Every fall Toronto is buzzing with celebrities, movie producers, writers and directors. It’s a great opportunity to view some wonderful films from around the world.

There are 46 breakout films and 50 international story tellers from 37 different countries. Since there are so many we can’t go into great detail about each one in this blog. But you can for sure find more than one film to spark your interest.

This Year at TIFF

Some notable films include First Man, staring Ryan Gosling and Private War, staring Rosamund Pike. First Man tells the story of the first man on the moon. Ryan Gosling plays Neil Armstrong, this film throws us right into the cockpit with Armstrong and his crew on their mission to the moon. While Private War tells us a much different story about the bravery of the journalist Marie Colvin. At the turn of the 21st century Marie is one of the most celebrated war corespondents, risking her life trying to capture the horrors of war.

TIFF Awards

There are awards that are given out each year at TIFF. One award is the People’s Choice Award, given to a feature full length film. The winner is determined by the film that receives the highest ratings by TIFF attendees.

TIFF is known as the most influential fall film festival. The festival runs from September 6th to the 16th. You still have lot of time to plan a night out at the festival and catch some incredible films.
