35th Annual Toronto International Film Festival - Films, Hollywood Stars, Potential Oscar Winners and More!!!

It's that time of the year again for the Toronto International Film Festival ("TIFF") running from September 8, 2011 to September 18, 2011 in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The Toronto International Film Festival is a rival to the Cannes Film Festival in France.

TIFF, which started in 1976, is known around the world.  Movie screenings are open to industry members as well as the public.

According to Wikipedia, TIFF showcased 339 films from 59 countries at 32 screens in downtown Toronto venues in 2010.

Many Hollywood studios, and others, now premiere their North American or worldwide debut of films that they hope will generate buzz for the Oscars and hopefully win.  Others win significant acclaim and awards at TIFF and go on to win at the Oscars.

Some well known recent films that were screened at the Toronto International Film Festival include The King's Speech, Precious, Slumdog Millionaire, Chariots of Fire, The Big Chill, Ray and more.

Numerous well known and lesser known Hollywood stars as well as stars from elsewhere come to Toronto during TIFF.

Learn more about the Toronto International Film Festival by visiting the TIFF website.

TIFF often makes the news down here in San Diego but they don't refer to it as TIFF -- I always thought that was a type of graphics file. ♪♫♫♪
