TIFF 2012: My Schedule

For the 18th year, I’ll be attending the Toronto International Film Festival. In addition to my usual ten films, I’ve received five rush vouchers for press and industry screenings. I haven’t figured out all of those yet, but I’ll include the ones I’m fairly certain of attending (with an * before the date). And thanks to Colin Geddes, I’m part of the blogging juggernaut over at the official blog for the Vanguard section this year, so he’s come through with some tickets for those films. And once again, special thanks are in order to the geniuses behind Tiffr, an online scheduling tool that becomes more indispensable each year.
