The 2007 Toronto Film FestivalThe Toronto Film Festival occurs every September and is an excellent event to attend whether you’re a film buff, celebrity watcher or both.The 2007 festival occurs from September 6-15th and by the time the event finishes, over 300 films will have been shown. The festival began in 1976 and was originally known as The Festival of Festivals. Since then it has grown into one of the most well-regarded films festivals in the world. Many consider the Toronto Film Festival to be second only to the Cannes Film Festival in importance so you can expect to have the opportunity to see a film or two that will most likely be considered for the major film awards several months later. One of the best things about the festival is that it features an excellent variety of films for festival-goers to choose from ie. major productions, indies, Canadian films and international films from a wide variety of countries. The festival makes it easy for festival goers by offering passes and coupon books that are redeemed for entry at various films. Tickets can be purchased in advance of various events, too.

The Bay Street/Bloor Street area is where much of the action happens and is very close to many of the hotels where the stars tend to stay. |
