#TIFF22

So it begins friends… #TIFFMas Eve has arrived.

For those of you still planning or thinking of going to #TIFF22 this year, in person or digitally, I’ve put together a quick Tips, Tools & FYI video for you ✌🏼

#TIFF22 Day 1… quiet before the storm 🏙

#TIFF22 Day 1: Watched Park Chan-wook’s DECISION TO LEAVE; interesting twists w/some extra dramatic elements. I liked it.

Film 2: Elena López Riera’s 1st feature EL AGUA. A story about young folx who want to leave all the ghosts behind. Also about climate change tho. Also liked

Ended with @alyankovic in the 1980s classic UHF c/o @OLG_CA Cinema Park… #FirstTimeWatch for me!
#TIFF22

Lots to think about after seeing Lina Rodriguez’s SO MUCH TENDERNESS .@Rayonverde

A diff’t look at the Latinamerican immigrant experience immersed in lots of #Toronto vibes too

#TIFF22

Day 2. Film 2: Carolina Markowicz’s CHARCOAL. Sharp social commentary about class mixed with dark humour and satire. Totally up my alley 👍🏼

#TIFF22

Day 2. Film 3: Finnish filmmaker Klaus Härö’s MY SAILOR, MY LOVE.

Complex father-daughter relationship and a lovely romance between an older couple make this an emotionally charged yet charming film. Definitely recommend ✅

#TIFF22

Day 2. Film 4: #TIFF22 premiere of @thisplacefilm directed by V.T. Nayani @_9knee I knew I had to see this in #community

Beautiful story about family dynamics, love, intimacy thru the eyes of two young womxn. So much to luv in this film💯@kdeveryjacobs

Day 3. Event 1: In Conversation With @violadavis & @GPBmadeit #GinaPrinceBythewood 💫

Amazing. Powerful.

#TIFF22

Day 3. Film 1: Sasha Jenkins speaks about his #Documentary LOUIS ARMSTRONG’S BLACK & BLUE.

Learned so much about Armstrong as a person. Watch it when it’s out @AppleTVPlus in October.

@thompowers #TIFF22

Day 3. Film 2: Director Daniel Goldhaber’s HOW TO BLOW UP A PIPELINE… environmental activism meets thriller/heist energy. Excellently executed film. Bravo to the whole crew.

#TIFF22

Day 4. Film 1: Laura Baumeister’s DAUGHTER OF RAGE (Hija de todas las Rabias). Beautifully heartbreaking & moving of a mother-daughter relationship amidst chaos & uncertainty. Great to see a film from #Nicaragua at #TIFF22

#TIFF22

Ended my #TIFF22 experience on Day 10 with MURU, written & directed by Tearepa Kahi. More than an action-thriller; this film is a must-see as it is a response to the NZ police raids on Māori people in the Urewera mountain area. Timely and necessary imho.

#MURUfilm

My Final, Final film on Day 10 at #TIFF22 was #MartinMcDonagh’s THE BANSHEES OF INISHIRIN. An up close look at a friendship running out its course. Filled with lots of laughter and deep sadness. Colin Farrell & Brendan Gleeson never disappoint.

That’s all folx! #TIFF22 screenings & events have officially ended and I had a great time 🫶🏻

Muchas gracias to all the filmmakers & their crew as well as to TIFF staff & volunteers 💫

Stay tuned for more Hye-lights & interviews from the fest…
