Alternative TIFF 2010 Picks: #16. José Luis Guerín’s Guest
To preem at both Venice and Toronto, this might be the first film to measure the impact and utility of film festivals on the perspective of the filmmaker which in this case was Guerín 2007’s In the City of Sylvia. I imagine that sitting in an audience watching this film in the context of TIFF will be a very “meta” experience.

The Gist: Filmmaker Jose Luis Guerin documents his experience during a year of travelling as a guest of film festivals to present his previous film. What emerges is a wonderfully humane and sincere portrayal of the people that he meets when he goes off the beaten track in some of the world’s major cities.
TIFF Schedule: Friday September 10 8:30:00 PM AMC 4
Sunday September 12 8:30:00 PM VARSITY 7
Saturday September 18 3:00:00 PM AMC 3
