Christmas more or less lost its magic for me when I stopped believing in Santa, but that’s not to say I don’t participate in an annual ritual that marries rabid consumerism with religious fervor. For me, said ritual occurs between early and mid-September, and is called the Toronto International Film Festival, or TIFF for short.
Here’s what’s on my slate for 2010’s ten days of TIFF-mas (all links are to official TIFF film profiles):
Friday, September 10th:
10PM – I’M STILL HERE (USA, Casey Affleck)
Saturday, September 11th:
930AM – BIUTIFUL (Mexico, Alejandro González Iñárritu)
1159PM – BUNRAKU (USA, Guy Moshe)
Sunday, September 12th:
930PM – OUR DAY WILL COME (France, Romain Gavras)
Monday, September 13th:
630PM – THE GAME OF DEATH (France, Christophe Nick, Thomas Bornot)
Tuesday, September 14th:
9PM – LEAP YEAR (Mexico, Michael Rowe)
Wednesday, September 15th:
915PM – KABOOM (USA, Gregg Araki)
Thursday, September 16th:
445PM – A SCREAMING MAN (Chad, Mahamat-Saleh Haroun)
Friday, September 17th:
930PM – CONFESSIONS (Japan, Tetsuya Nakashima)
Saturday, September 18th:
9PM – BLACK SWAN (USA, Darren Aronofsky)
Sunday, September 19th:
12PM – COLD FISH (Japan, Tsumetai Nettaigyo)
3PM – THE TRIP (UK, Michael Winterbottom)
6PM – SUBMARINE (UK, Richard Ayoade)
Somewhere in there I hope to publish some reviews. Until then, a merry TIFF-mas to one and all.
