Tiff. 09

A little something you might know about me. My now husband turned me into a little film buff some years ago when we first started dating. I always had a love for film but the knowledge I have gained in the last several years in unbelievable. I never really think about it until I realize that I know many abstract film makers, and don't even blink when I watch films from all over the world from any year about anything! Its kinda great :o).  Sometimes I don't appreciate how much art and culture I get through film. Tiff. not Tagged Image File Format, but Toronto International Film Festival has become a tradition for my husband, his Mom and I to attend for years. It IS an expensive trip but the most wonderful experience. Toronto is an AMMAZING city I want to live there and I couldn't see this festival anywhere but there. I feel transformed into another world seeing film after film. One year we saw about 30 films in a week! The best part is seeing the stars of each film right after for a Q&A. Sometimes you see very well known actors like Nicole Kidman and Chloe Sevigny. There is something to be said at seeing someone in a film and then getting to see them in person right after!!  My favorite so far was seeing the writer of Juno, Diablo Cody. I was a big fan of her book Candy Girl and this year she will be there again with her new film Jennifer's Body.  I'm gitty!! 

Last year we missed the festival because we bought a house, so for this year Im extra antsy to go! I keep day dreaming about being there, and I also start anticipating the design of this years fest! I can't wait to see what they have come up with this year!

What a great idea to show us this review of past posters of TIFF! I wish I could go some day to that festival. It is in Canada, not so far from me (mmmh... maybe a little bit far!). Have a nice trip!
