Toronto Lightbox

A week or so ago the Toronto Film Festival re-invited veteran journalists to sign up and get themselves squared away, so that's what I did. I know that the whole show is moving south sooner or later to the Bell Lightbox, so I asked Toronto Star critic Peter Howell what's doing. "They're still building the Bell Lightbox," he answered. "It may be ready for part of the 2010 fest, and supposedly will be ready for 2011. The press part of the festival this year will still mostly happen at the [Bay and Bloor] Manulife Centre."

Here's the question: They're going to have 5 screens there - but only a total of 1,300 seats. So which part of the festival are they moving there? The press screenings? The public screenings? Are they really going to force the press to shlep all the way down to King Street - essentially altering the center of gravity for the entire festival? WTF? I asked several people last year what would actually be in the Lightbox (what a pretentious - nay, Canadian - name) and no one could tell me. As it is, screenings are spread so far up and down Yonge Street that it's harder and harder to see what you need to see. Freakin' Canucks!
