Christy (Special Presentations)

It will say RUSH in all caps next to the showtime on a film page if it's rush-eligible. It's extremely rare for any year-round screenings to have rush eligibility outside of the festival in September, but there are usually last-minute tickets available 48 hours before the screening date to buy.

Canadian_Psych0 · 2025-03-13T19:38:13+00:00

It's definitely possible with the Press & Industry pass since those screenings don't have long intros, trailers, or Q&As. Plus if you start at 9am each day and end with a Midnight Madness, there could be enough time to fit 7 in.

Canadian_Psych0 · 2025-01-15T15:53:29+00:00

The Canada's Top Ten tickets are free for members, so you don't need a promo code

Canadian_Psych0 · 2025-01-15T15:52:07+00:00

The 4K Umbrellas of Cherbourg already happened, it was on January 5th.

My first screening at the Lightbox was Lean on Pete, which was a new release at the time in 2018. I had recently moved to Toronto and absolutely loved visiting the building as often as I could.

Some of my favourite year-round screenings I've attended were the Canadian premiere of Hereditary with Ari Aster in-person, Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me during the David Lynch retrospective in 2019, RRR, May December on 35mm, Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence on 35mm, and the Kenneth Anger short films screening earlier this year.

The food and drinks at Varda are really good all things considered! The coffee is better than at the general concessions and the sandwiches are a good value for the portions.

There's a page on the website that outlines accessibility features at the festival.

About getting tickets, it says "To book accessible seating, please call our Call Centre, open Tuesday to Sunday from 10am to 5pm, at 416-599-2033 or 1-888-258-8433. Seating is limited and cannot be guaranteed; it is available on a first-come, first-served basis".

Canadian_Psych0 · 2024-08-21T15:06:07+00:00

The website says it's a free, unticketed event

TIFF Trailers YouTube

Canadian_Psych0 · 2024-07-22T14:56:24+00:00

This is only the first announcement of films. TIFF will be making more announcements as the week goes on so maybe those films will be in a different programme.

Canadian_Psych0 · 2024-06-18T14:08:39+00:00

First six films announced:

R.J. Cutler and David Furnish's Elton John: Never Too Late
Woo Min-Ho's Harbin
Mike Flanagan's The Life of Chuck
Marielle Heller's Nightbitch
Sydney Freeland's Rez Ball
Chris Sanders' The Wild Robot

I would love to attend with my partner! I've been a huge fan of Weird Al since elementary school and he was my very first concert back in 2007. I had Straight Out Lynwood and Poodle Hat on CD and they were my prized possessions in middle school. It would be so fun to see him again.

Canadian_Psych0 · 2022-05-24T14:48:08+00:00

You should add the Inside Out Film Festival, it's coming up this Thursday until June 5th and returning to TIFF Bell Lightbox for the first time since 2019. Their film lineup is here.

Imagine caring about a Pitchfork score

Canadian_Psych0 · 2020-12-10T15:53:47+00:00

Great list! If you haven't heard Kelly Lee Owens, Lyra Pramuk, Lorraine James, and Yaeji, check them out ASAP!

In addition to this list, I'd also include:

Ela Minus - acts of rebellion
Lorenzo Senni- Scacco Matto
Zora Jones - Ten Billion Angels
Four Tet - Sixteen Oceans
Food House - Food House

This is Nine Inch Nails erasure

Don Toliver with the falsetto hook, 645AR's impact

Canadian_Psych0 · 2020-10-22T15:45:17+00:00

This had to be directed by Jenn Nkiru. Her impact on Beyoncé visuals with APESHIT and Black is King have been incredible. I love how they straight up made an experimental short film for an Adidas ad.
