One of the swankier events held during Toronto International Film Festival week was the amfAR black-tie fundraising Gala – Cinema Against AIDS held at the Carlu. More than 500 guests attended including Martin Sheen, Emilio Estevez, and Kelly Roland, and a who’s who of the Toronto arts scene.

The evening included cocktails, dinner, a luxury live auction, and performances by Broadway, film, and television star Cheyenne Jackson and the recently reunited band Ace of Base. More than $1 million dollars was raised for amfAR and Dignitas.

After the Gala Monday night premiere screening of BLACK SWAN during the 2010 Toronto Film Festival – Oscar buzz only grew for the thriller, especially Portman’s role of an experienced ballerina dancer drawn to the dark side of an another dancer, played my Mila Kunis.

During the Tuesday morning press conference director Darren Aronofsky talked at length what a difficult movie it was to put together as funding fell through several times. Even with the success and Oscar nominations for Darren’s last film, The Wrestler, funding still proved tough on Black Swan especially as this was during the “financial black hole in Hollywood” after the 2008 Wallstreet crash.

Portman and Aronofsky first discussed the idea for the film as far back as 2002. Aronofsky underscored the importance of playing in the best festivals in the world, like Toronto to maximize publicity on the film. Darren admits that even though they got the production budget together to make the film, there is very little left for marketing and promotion.

Test Drive the Ultimate ride – the TIFF’10 Cadillacs at Roy Thomson Hall in Toronto

Did you know you can TEST DRIVE the type of Cadillac’s all those Toronto Film Festival celebrities get dropped off on the red carpet in. From Tuesday September 14th to Friday September 17th (11am to 4pm) Cadillac is giving people the chance to test drive the ultimate ride outside the Cadillac display at Roy Thomson Hall on King St. in Toronto.

And Keeping in the TIFF movie spirit – you’ll also walk away after the test drive with a pair of FREE Cineplex screening tickets.

The Thompson Hotel roof in Toronto proves a hot spot for TIFF’10 as the film festival moves the buzz to King St.

The newly opened Thompson Hotel in Toronto certainly proved to be a hot spot during the 2010 Toronto International Film Festival. From hosting some of the hottest parties – Vanity Fair and a certain Blackberry themed bash (that had a rare sighting of not just Ryan Reynolds but his betroved Scarlett Johansson in hand) to name just a few.

But on almost any night during TIFF you could be assured the Thompson roof would be buzzing with activity and a celebrity or two. But getting to the Thompson roof during TIFF can be a challenge as the guest list is usually kept pretty exclusive and gatekeepers below DO need to buzz you up to the top floor with that special little card.

Of course, when you get to the Thompson roof there is a certain camera etiquette and a Festival Insider wouldn’t get too far trying to haul a big DSLR cam up there. But, after a glass of wine (or two!) and an iPhone my fellow insider SKYE and myself can still have a little pictorial fun.

MALIN AKERMAN and RYAN PHILLIPPE premiere “The Bang Bang Club” at Roy Thomson Hall Gala in Toronto

While covering TIFF tends to occupy the majority of a Festival Insider’s schedule – leaving little time for actually seeing any films. If this insider finds time for one this festival – it will be The Bang Bang Club. It’s based on the true story of four photojournalists who set out to capture the final days of apartheid in South Africa.

Canadian Film Centre’s annual @CFCcreates Barbecue always a highlight on the TIFF party schedule – Norman Jewison hosts with Paul Haggis

The Canadian Film Centre’s annual Sunday afternoon Barbecue has always been one of the better invites of TIFF week. The yearly event always promises a fun afternoon of chatter among old friends, drinks, and good eats (Licks burgers & Guck sauce!)

One of the reasons the BBQ is held each year is to celebrate the films and projects that are created by CFC alumni and make their way into screening during the Toronto International Film Festival.

Two CFC shorts – HOW TO RID YOUR LOVER OF A NEGATIVE EMOTION CAUSED BY YOU! and CHAMPAGNE, created through the CFC Short Dramatic Film Program will screen in the Short Cuts Canada program, while CFC’s commitment to innovation takes centre stage with WHAT?S YOUR ESSENTIAL 100, an interactive installation that invites visitors to text in their favourite films from the Essential 100 list and see a dynamic visualization of images projected above the box office.

The party for UMA THURMAN and the cast of CEREMONY at the Youtube Lounge Brassaii had a decidingly PULP FICTION vibe

photo: UMA THURMAN arrives at the YouTube Lounge Brassaii on King St. in Toronto for the TIFF premiere party for CEREMONY. The Toronto Film Festival premiering film is written and directed by MAX WINKLER.


Before the party started there was a private dinner with the cast in Brassaii. In attendance was the executive producter of the film, director Jason Reitman and even Max Winkler’s dad, HENRY (yes, The Fonz!) was there.

While Uma Thurman was at TIFF supporting her newest film – there is no forgetting the iconic role Ms. Thurman played in “Pulp Fiction.” There was decidedly seventies Tarantino soundtrack vibe to the DJ set played that night at the Youtube Lounge.

If the 35th edition of the Toronto Film Festival will be remembered for anything – it’s the opening of the BELL LIGHTBOX – Toronto’s new home for film and culture

Over a decade in the making, if there is one thing the 2010 edition of the Toronto International Film Festival will be remembered for – it’s the opening of the BELL LIGHTBOX.

TIFF’s new home will be all things to the festival – a state-of-the-art screening facility as well, as place to meet and discuss the art and culture of film.

We couldn’t let the 35th edition of the festival end without a visit to the new Bell Lightbox. And it was as beautiful and spacious as one could imagine. We Festival Insiders especially loved being able to begin our night with a drink before a TIFF screening in the Blackberry Lounge. The lounge even had Blackberry charging stations so we could give our batteries a quick charge before tweeting into the night.

The esteemed film critic, Roger Ebert who annually covers TIFF couldn’t help but comment while in Toronto visiting the new facility, “The Bell Lightbox is superb. No other word for it.”

“Most films are hard if they’re beautifully written and they’re dealing with a subject matter that isn’t easy, that isn’t a comedy – devastating. But at the same time I wanted to do it justice for the people that have been through this.” – NICOLE KIDMAN

It was almost a SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE reunion on the TIFF’10 red carpets as FREIDA PINTO and boyfriend DEV PATEL premiere “You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger” while across town director DANNY BOYLE premieres “127 Hours”

In an ironic twist Pinto and Patel’s “Slumdog Millionaire” director Danny Boyle is also at the festival with his Slumdog follow-up “127 Hours.” I’m sure the only thing that kept Danny away from joining his former Slumdog cast at Pinto’s premiere is that Boyle’s was occurring at the same time up the street. It was only two years ago at TIFF where “the little movie made in India” went on to do big things.

Microsoft founder BILL GATES supports education documentary Waiting for ‘Superman’ at 2010 Toronto Film Festival

It’s no surprise when Toronto’s International Film Festival attracts some of the most powerful movie stars in the world. Today, it attracted another type of power player – Microsoft founder BILL GATES.

The Festival Insider had a chance to ask Mr. Gates a question (and also vent a little frustration over Windows Vista.)

STONE press conference at 2010 Toronto Film Festival with Robert Deniro, Ed Norton, and Milla Jovovich – Deniro sees himself acting “in only 3 more movies”

It was a packed media room for the Toronto International Film Festival press conference for STONE, easily one of the most anticipated pressers of TIFF. With acting legends like Robert Deniro and Ed Norton in the room, press conference moderator Henri Béhar, while customary to highlight an actors previous works when introducing them, when getting to Deniro, said “I’m not even going to try… Mr. Robert Deniro”

While Mr. Deniro was a man of few words during the press conference. When he spoke those words the media was hanging on every one of them. Including when Deniro talked about “only seeing himself acting in 3 more movies.”

PART 2: Interview with movie critic RICHARD CROUSE on his TIFF’10 picks – Javier Bardem in Biutiful – Kat Dennings in Daydream Nation – and Black Swan

5 GREAT things to do around the 2010 Toronto International Film Festival – FOR FREE!

You don’t need the hottest party invite or Gala screening ticket to enjoy the buzz of the Toronto Film Festival. There are still plenty of downtown sites to take in the magic of TIFF and it doesn’t even have to cost you a dime. We can suggest these 5 great things to do around TIFF for FREE;

1. THE TIFF RED CARPET PREMIERES – The TIFF red carpet screenings still offer the best bang for your buck for getting up close and personal with a movie star. It’s rare a celebrity doesn’t interact with the crowd at their premiere. We’ve seen before some stars spend more time with the fans, then the media. Roy Thomson Hall Gala premieres have a large area where crowds gather. But warning – if you want a good spot on the fence, get their early. The Elgin Winter Theatre and Ryerson are also very fan friendly and good spots for seeing your favorite actors up close. Tip: The stars exiting the Elgin theatre out the back door can be an intimate vantage point.

2. YORKVILLE AVE. – Yes, some festival buzz is moving south to King st., but Yorkville avenue is still home to two of Toronto’s most swanky TIFF hotels – The Four Seasons and The Hazelton. So Yorkville is always a bees hive of activity come TIFF time – especially opening weekend. Grab a coffee and take a seat outside on the Starbucks patio for some fun people watching.

3. THE PARTIES – The Hello Canada magazine party, the Variety Studio at Holt Renfrew, In Style Party. You may not get into these events – but many have red carpets outside and sometimes hundreds of fans will gather in the streets.

4. ESSENTIAL CINEMA MUSEUM and FILM SCREENINGS – at the TIFF Bell Lightbox opening daily September 12th the exhibit will feature movie props, costumes, and posters from some of most popular movies ever. TIP: They’ll also be free screenings of past great TIFF films.

5. TIFF BLOCK PARTY – on Sunday, September 12th. Everybody is invited to one of TIFF’s coolest parties this year. The opening of the BELL Lightbox on Sunday afternoon. Free food and entertaiment including the headlining of a major Canadian act that TIFF is keeping secret for now (but we think is Nelly Furtado.)

Artists for Peace and Justice fundraising event during TIFF will raise badly needed money for Haitian relief – follow @natashankpr on Twitter to help donate

There is no question that it’s often a time of celebration at many events during the Toronto International Film Festival. But it’s also become a time for giving back and many events occurring during TIFF have a charitable aspect to them.

One of the most successful fundraising events held annually in Toronto around film fest time is The Artists for Peace and Justice fundraiser with Paul Haggis and this year, James Franco co-hosting. The APJ has been tirelessly working for Haitian relief this year.

Still months after the devastating earthquake that hit Haiti, the country struggles to get everyday supplies. Food, water, and medical care are in short supply and without raising more money international relief efforts will continue to slow down.

One organizer of the Artists for Peace and Justice fundraiser, Natasha Koifman is donating $5 for every new follower on twitter she gains till September 15th.

FIRST LOOK VIDEO – THE PROMISE: Making of Darkness On The Edge Of Town documentary brings Bruce Springsteen to TIFF for Gala premiere and interview

When THE BOSS himself, Bruce Springsteen steps onto the red carpet for the TIFF Gala world premiere of THE PROMISE: Making of Darkness On The Edge Of Town it will continue a tradition of the Toronto festival being able to attract not just the biggest movie actors in the world – but also in recent years, some huge icons from the music world too.

During the 2008 Toronto festival guitar gods Jack White, Jimmy Page (Led Zeppelin), and The Edge (U2) all came to Toronto in support of the documentary, IT MIGHT GET LOUD. Last year, we saw U2′s Bono and Edge turn up on a TIFF red carpet in support of fellow Irish director Neil Jordan’s new film.

And It won’t just be at the Roy Thomson Hall Gala on September 14th where we’ll see Springsteen. Earlier in the day, Bruce will sit down with actor / friend Ed Norton for a rare in-depth live interview at the new Bell Lightbox building.

The Toronto Film Festival is about the FILMS – but it’s also about the STARS and DIRECTORS. Guess who’s coming…

We know the Toronto International Film Festival is about the films. But it’s certainly also about the STARS and their DIRECTORS that descend upon Toronto each year. TIFF released their guest list of celebrities expected to attend and it’s a doozy. With legends like Clint Eastwood, Robert Redford, and Robert Deniro attending – it’s looking like a banner year for TIFF’10.
