So I ended up watching 10 different films this year. There was only one that I didn't really like, there were a couple that I thought were okay and the rest, I really loved.
Only one of the films that I saw won an award, in fact, most of the winners weren't ones that even made my short list.
So in order that I watched the films, here they are:
1. Girl Model
2. Comic-Con Episode IV: A Fan’s Hope
3. Whore's Glory
4. First Position
5. In Darkness
6. Monsieur Lazhar
7. Killer Elite
8. Undefeated
9. Trespass
10. The Oranges
I admit, I didn't put a lot of effort into my reviews this year. I didn't bother to give synopses of the films, as I figured that people could read them from the TIFF website themselves.
I was reminded that I'd have a better chance at getting a Q&A after a screening if I attended the premiere of a film during the festival.
Anyway, it was a great festival. There are always more films to see than I have time for. I'm pretty lucky that I've been able to attend so many of them and that my schedule allows for daytime screenings on weekdays and even multiple screenings in a day. Three a day is my limit and I find that to be a lot. By the end of it, I'm exhausted, but then I met some folks that do five or six in a day - crazy!
I love the buzz of the festival. I'm glad that it takes place in the city.
