4) #TIFF2013

Yes it’s that time of year again. July? No, well yes but also TIFF program announcement time as well. Taking place in Toronto, Canada (not Toronto New South Wales, Australia in case you were wondering), TIFF is the biggest film festival in the world. I was lucky to attend in 2010 while visiting co-founder Nigel who himself went a staggering 3 times. So it holds some fond memories for us both. Showing at this year’s festival will be Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom, Kill Your Darlings (a look at the relationship between Allen Ginsberg and William S. Burroughs), Steve McQueen’s latest offering 12 Years A Slave and Can A Song Save Your Life? (pictured) from Once writer/director John Carney. A cursory glance is enough to make you green with envy, you can feel such emotions by clicking here.
