Yes, once again the paparazzi has caught up to me. Perhaps they thought I was Brad Pitt. In any case, here I am on the red carpet leading to Roy Thompson Hall.
I work near Roy Thompson Hall, close to the Bell TIFF Lightbox, the headquarters of the TIFF, and by where the tickets are being sold for all the films. Needless to say, this neighborhood has a buzz.
TIFF began in 1976 as the “Festival of Festivals", collecting the best films from other film festivals around the world and showing them to eager audiences in Toronto. That first year, 35,000 enthusiasts watched 127 films from 30 countries. By 2009, those numbers have grown to feature 336 films from 64 countries, enjoyed by 500,000 people.
The day starts off early. At 7:30 this morning, CITY TV's Dina Pugliese interviewed Alison Eastwood from Hello Magazine.
Here is the entrance to the red carpet at 10:30 AM today. Stars were due to arrive at 6:30. About 25 people are set up for the day.
