Toronto International Film Festival TIFF 2011

All of T.O. is giddy with anticipation as the 2011 edition of the Toronto International Film Festival TIFF opens today in our fair city and ends on September 18. The original Festival of Festivals was renamed TIFF in 1995.

From TIFF 'What began as a ten-day film festival (in 1976) has grown to embrace programming 365 days a year. TIFF offers screenings, lectures, discussions, festivals, workshops industry support and the chance to meet filmmakers from Canada and around the world.'
