The final tally and full list of films presented at this year's TIFF have been announced today and hardcore cinephiles will have many options available to them out of the 261 film selected.

It couldn’t happen any other time than the middle of the night. That ringing is not a dream. There, on the other side of the line, is the voice you have tried so hard to forget while secretly longing to hear again. You’re half asleep so you can’t be sure the conversation is actually happening. She’s in town. She’s leaving tomorrow. She wants to see you. Nothing good can come of this but you can’t say no., not to her. So you drag yourself out of bed, throw on some jeans and prepare yourself to revisit every memory, good and bad, that the two of you created. It’s a scenario most can relate to and that common experience is what makes Francois Dompierre’s All the Days Before Tomorrow, a dissected history of Wes (Joey Kern), Alison (Alexandra Holden) and the space they created together, easy to connect with and even easier to fall in love with.

Tucked away in the fresh air mountains of Telluride, Colorado is the 4 day film festival of gnarly indie, foreign film titles.

When adults who have children have other adult friends who also have children, those children will inevitably be thrown together on a regular basis. If you’re one of those children and you’re lucky, then you might get along with this other child. Or, if you’re Robert, in director, Volker Einrauch’s Der Andere Junge (The Other Boy), you’re lucky if you make it through an entire evening without your forced friend, Paul, beating you repeatedly. Your parents barely know you and rarely listen to what you have to say so you can’t go to them with your troubles. You try reasoning with Paul but his antics only become worse when he smells your weakness. You are alone and no one is coming to your rescue. The results can be very isolating. Before long, you feel cornered and you do what it takes without thinking about what will follow.
