TIFF Review: Fahrenheit 11/9
Posted by: Sharilyn Johnson • September 7, 2018 @ 10:40am
Action speaks louder than hope.
That's the message – albeit a buried message – of Michael Moore's sharp expose, Fahrenheit 11/9, which premiered Thursday night at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF).
The film examines the conditions that helped make President Donald Trump a reality.

It's commonly said that actors appear smaller in real life than they do on the screen. However, such is decidedly not the case with Thorsteinn Bachmann, star of the acclaimed Icelandic film, Life in a Fishbowl.

TIFF 2014 Interview: Albert Shin
Posted by: Elizabeth Hughes Belzil • September 15, 2014 @ 9:05am
In a small patio nestled in a high-rise apartment building in downtown Toronto, I sit across from Albert Shin. Despite the periodic sounds of honking from below and the roar of planes from above, the spot is peaceful, illuminated by the mid-morning sun. The young Canadian writer-director is friendly and informal, with a boyish face and irrepressible grin.
The Best (& Worst) of TIFF 2013
Posted by: Elizabeth Hughes Belzil • September 24, 2013 @ 2:43pm
A little over a week ago the 2013 Toronto International Film Festival ended so what better time to ruminate on the good and the bad. And what better way to do so than create a "best and worst" list? (Sure, lists are reductive to the point of absurdity, they force an arbitrary ranking system, I usually come to regret them at some point, etc., etc.
TIFF 2013 Interview: Director & cast of The Dick Knost Show
Posted by: Elizabeth Hughes Belzil • September 15, 2013 @ 8:30am
In all the hubbub of the Toronto International Film Festival, sometimes it's easy to forget where you are. Amidst the wall of people crowding the streets, the buzz of foreign languages, and Hollywood celebrities emerging from black SUV's you might be at any major world film festival.
TIFF 2013 Interview: Director Pirjo Honkasalo
Posted by: Elizabeth Hughes Belzil • September 13, 2013 @ 4:06pm
A teenage boy stares at his reflection in a fogged mirror shrouded in darkness. Moments later the same boy watches a train derail off a bridge. Then he is trapped in one of the train's cars as it fills with water. He impotently slams his hands against the ceiling in an attempt to free himself.
TIFF 2011 Interview: Director Ingrid Veninger
Posted by: Elizabeth Hughes Belzil • September 13, 2011 @ 7:28pm
For the second time I was given the pleasure of interviewing Toronto-based filmmaker Ingrid Veninger. Since the debut of her film Modra at last year's festival, she has become one of the most recognizable new faces in Canadian cinema. Physically, she is distinctive as well: her dreadlocked hair sits massed atop her head, almost threatening to topple her itty-bitty frame.
8 Films: A Brief Guide to the 2010 TIFF
Posted by: Elizabeth Hughes Belzil • September 22, 2010 @ 7:56pm
The first thing I noticed upon arriving at the Gala screening of Janie Jones at this year's Toronto International Film Festival was the inordinate number of beautiful and svelte six-foot-tall women towering over me -- enough to make anyone of normal proportions (i.e. myself) a trifle self-conscious.
