TIFF 2015 Preview

Tonight the 40th Annual Toronto International Film Fest kicks off with the gala showing of Demolition. But for us it is a different story. This is our first TIFF and it will officially begin Saturday with the regular showing of The Martian. Seeing big stars would be nice, but it's not nearly as important to us as the experience. Seeing the noon showing of The Martian will get us down to the heart of TIFF so we can spend the rest of the afternoon enjoying Festival Street,

Since coming to Toronto, the TIFF has played a significant role. One of the first things David did in town was go to the Stanley Kubrick exhibit at the Bell Lightbox. Soon after, we became members and began attending special events like Books On Film, Food On Film, Master's Classes, and we could never forget Summer in Italy. In a very real way, TIFF has reinvented going to the movies for us. What had become a once or twice a year event to trek out to a mall to see a blockbuster, has returned to that more joyous sense of discovery that film once was.

So we felt it appropriate to make TIFF 2015 our launch event for this blog. Expect live Tweets and posting on Facebook and Instagram over the weekend and a detailed recap on this blog early next week.

See you there.
