This is SO HELPFUL!! First year to afford TIFF, cinephile for many years, understanding the festival is like a minefield 😢

[corduroylanes]

As someone who has been doing this for the past 4 years, this is absolutely the definitive guide to navigating TIFF. Thank you for creating this resource.

Love how comprehensive this TIFF primer video is... although, I will admit, the haphazard cuts with different outfits/wardrobes had me doing double-takes more often than not. Otherwise, great work... I have no doubt it'll help fledgling TIFF goers get a leg up on their festival experience 3 weeks from now.

Thank you, awesome video! Very helpful!
Do you know if there is a way to get in at Press and Industry screenings?

[TheWillowSteele]

The video I needed. I've been the last few years but really want to make the most out of TIFF this year. I have two pages of movies I want to see so I'm glad I have an expert to give me all the tips and tricks!

[BajaFrecuencia]

Not only is this really helpful, I've been watching it on repeat because it adds to my excitement of going to the festival!

[chaseazarian]

Dude, THANK YOU for making this! I'm attending for the first time this year and couldn't be more stoked, but this is the best Tiff explained video I've seen by a mile and you just made me so much more confident in being able to catch as much stuff as I can 👌 Just subscribed, keep up the great work!

[donlevy]

This was a fascinating video. It sounds like a fun festival. Have a great time.

[Liv-hxxx]

thank you soooo much for this video, I'm a Torontonian who has been going to the festival for a couple years now but mostly for the street vibe and celebs, I really want to heighten my experience and go to some good movies and engage more with the environment and yeah this video is a work of art🙏

Thank you. I've never been to TIFF before and this was overwhelming me.

[dianalovesturtles]

Thanks so much for posting! We are going for the first time and this is very helpful!

[maryfisher]

Awesome Matt . So helpful! Thanks so much!

[ibrahimbeats]

love this video - I especially appreciated your breakdown of the different categories of showings, it made me intrigued to try watching a Wavelengths film just to see

[MTVEUROPEDEEPFAKES]

I have VISA Infinite card and pre-sale starts soon.

[TheZeitergeist]

Rushing everything seems stressful but best of luck! Also appreciate the Q&A note you made, I had some ppl last year telling directors that they should've done things differently about their own films and it was so cringe. Excited for this year, the lineup is very exciting!

[arnaudweissenburger]

Transit-wise, don’t discount the Toronto Bike Share. I used it last year to commute from my stay to the venues and was easily the quickest and cheapest option I could’ve gone with!

[zachlowenstein]

Thank you for the video, it's very comprehensive and super helpful! I'm excited to be going to TIFF for the first time this year! I have one question. On the TIFF site schedule, time blocks for a film are always a half hour longer than the runtime of the movie. Is this because of a guaranteed Q&A, or just to help people schedule with 30 minutes in between screenings?

[EsperanzaBarnett]

Hello, I’m an actress featured in the (Blue) Special presentation movie SHELL. Do you know how I can participate as a cast memeber?

[namakudamono]

Am I the only person who clicked on this video, expecting an explanation about the image file format?
