Oh, it’s on. The Toronto International Film Festival doesn’t start for another eight days, but over at NOW we are one hundred percent dedicated to all things TIFF, forever and ever amen.

We may not cover every aspect of this year’s festival, but it won’t be for lack of trying. Here’s a thing I wrote for the print edition about the Canadian artists I’m most excited to see at the festival, and exclusively on the web you’ll find another look-ahead to films directed by women and my annual overview of the Short Cuts selection.

Oh, and reviews. So many capsule reviews. And we’re only getting started.
