Seeing Stars
by AbFab911 on 2019-09-11Roy Thomson Hall - TorontoRating: 5 out of 5It’s the most wonderful time of they year...that’s what I always say, think and feel. I absolutely love TIFF. I love every about it. The buzz, the energy, the excitement, the movies, the stars. Every year the anticipation builds and every year my expectations are met far beyond what I had imagined. This year I particularly liked, and found extremely helpful, how organized the the TIFF “planner” was. I really liked being able to scroll through movies and “love” the ones I wanted to see, put them in my own “shortlist” and then gave those movies placed into the TIFF weekly planner with regards to where and when (including times) they were playing. It made the process so much easier especially because I like to look at things visually when I map them out. It was less overwhelming. The selection of movies is always above bar, so many to choose from. In thinking about ways to maybe make the experience different, the atmosphere is tending to feel a bit similar year after year on King street - the giant chess pieces, etc which I know are iconic to TIFF - but I feel on “the streets” things could maybe shift a bit - I’m stretching here to find one area to perhaps work on because really, how does one fix something that is already so magnificently perfect.
