Toronto Romanian Film Festival 2009

Sorry for the short notice, but there are two fine film fest­ivals run­ning this weekend, each fea­turing the cinema of one country.

The 2nd annual Toronto Romanian Film Festival (romani­an­cine­maNOW) is taking place from tonight through Sunday with screen­ings at the Bloor Cinema and Innis Town Hall. The pro­gramme includes a day of doc­u­mentary shorts and fea­tures co-sponsored by Hot Docs. Tickets at the door are $15 for adults and $10 for students.

And if Australia is more your thing, OzFlix fea­tures a full pro­gramme of shorts and fea­ture films and runs through Monday, with screen­ings at the Royal Cinema and the Royal Ontario Museum. Tickets are $10 except the opening night screening (The Black Balloon) at the Royal, which is $20, but includes admis­sion to the opening recep­tion at Bar Italia.

Unfortunately, I’m working on some­thing film-related this weekend which I can’t talk about, so I won’t be able to enjoy any of these, but TSS cor­res­pondent Jay Kerr will be attending OzFlix and prom­ises some reviews, so check back early next week.
