t's a different kind of tiff this year. A new kind of tiff.
The festival's 35th year is marked with a whole lot of new in 2010.
The festival will open doors to its new home, the Bell Lightbox on September 12th with a big ol' block party including a live concert in the entertainment district - right in middle of all the action.
There's also a new festival strip of commotion – the all new festival village, located on King Street in the heart of downtown Toronto just steps away from all the wining and dining your heart can desire.
The Indian contingent at the festival is also quite 'hatke' (different) from previous years.
The festival's South Asian line-up is fragrant of the winds of change and an increasing acceptance of a new crop of Indian films gaining momentum and emerging strong in Mumbai – Independent Cinema. Cinemagoers and film lovers will get the chance to meet and greet this rising breed of cinematic talents come September 10, 2010.
This year's festival includes premieres of Kiran Rao's Dhobi Ghat starring Aamir Khan
, Prateik Babbar and Monica Dogra; Anurag Kashyap's That Girl in Yellow Boots starring Kalki Koechlin Naseeruddin Shah
and Aamir Bashir's Harud (Autumn) starring Reza Naji and Shahnawaz Bhat. All of which could be termed 'atypical' Bollywood films, quite far away from the usual weekly fare. Whether they're too good or not so good, one thing is for sure – they'll say something new and you'll see something different.
The faces may not be familiar so you may not scream their names, just yet but they could be ones to watch out for in the future - Freida Pinto and Dev Patel ring a bell?
After all it's great films that make great stars, not the other way around.
