Marshall Fine: This Critic's 20-minute Rule

2013-04-23T09:30:40Z

Over the years, I've developed what I refer to as the 20-minute rule. It basically says that a movie that hasn't hooked me in the first 20 minutes probably isn't going to.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr.: Cloud Atlas : Resistance and Redemption

2012-11-16T17:55:55Z

The film is really six movies in one ranging from a rip-roaring sailing yarn from the days of the clipper ships to a sci-fi thriller that makes the great classic, Blade Runner, seem dimwitted and plodding.

Samuel Getachew: There's a Hollywood Growing in Africa

2012-10-10T00:35:44Z

As TIFF moves forward with its noble growth of a true international destination, I hope it will also recognize African filmmaking that is also emerging all over the world. The African Diaspora as well as Africans in Africa is increasingly captivated by their own movie making and it's slowly becoming just as popular as Hollywood films.

Cameron Bailey: What I Think of Culture in Canada

2012-09-27T11:20:34Z

Culture isn't a painting on a wall or a book on a shelf. It's the way of seeing what made that painting, which is the very same process we all use to imagine what our next meal is going to taste like, or remember a kiss, or believe in an idea. Without culture we wouldn't just be animals, we would be meat.

Renee Gold: My TIFF 2012 Diary

2012-09-19T16:00:06Z

I've been attending the Toronto International Film Festival in various permutations over the last decade. This year was especially interesting as it was my inaugural TIFF season on Twitter -- adding a virtual blizzard of information into the mix. My coverage this year was a pu-pu platter of events, lounges, pop-ups and charitable causes and with most of it being re-tweeted in real-time, I quickly learned that I could not "dance at every wedding."

2012-09-15T07:27:34Z

With the Toronto International Film Festival taking over the city, I can't help but think about the state of the Canadian film industry. As far as the amount of Canadian talent we have, it's there. We have it -- we just need to get out there a support it. We need to watch our own films and our own television productions.
