TIFF! Have you heard of it? Formerly, the “Toronto International Film Festival,” TIFF’s widely considered the second-most prestigious and important film festival in the world (after Cannes), and certainly the most prestigious and important public film festival. TIFF’s great because it’s not just for critics or buyers. It’s for us! The people!
So every year, NOW’s tries its dardnest to cover the festival from stem-to-stern. This year, following the success of mini-sites we’ve built for festivals like Hot Docs and Fringe, we’ve built a site dedicated exclusively to TIFF. That way, those of you how are fest-ing it up can easily track NOW’s coverage. And those of you who don’t care about TIFF can read about cronut burgers and bike parking and food restaurants and the mayor smoking pot without a constant stream of TIFF coverage tripping you up.
