The 2012 Toronto International Film Festival is just over three weeks away. I've attended 57 film festivals since the start of 2006, but none as prestigious or breathtaking in scope as this one. I saw over 170 films there from 2006-2011, and many of my Top Picks from all festivals over the past few years (of over 1000 in total) came from the TIFF lineup. 

This year's event runs from September 6-16 and is considered by many (including myself) to be the top fest in the Western Hemisphere, second in the world only to Cannes. Many movies have their World, International or North American premieres there. Almost every major Academy Award-winning motion picture of the past few years debuted at TIFF. The number of films is expected to total over 275. 
Ticket packages are now available for purchase by cash, debit, or online at TIFF.net/thefestival, by phone at 416-599-TIFF or toll free at 1-888-599-8433 (10 AM to 7 PM daily), or in person at the TIFF Box Office at Reitman Square, 350 King Street West (10 AM to 10 PM daily). 

On The Road 
Walter Salles, France/Brazil 
North American Premiere
Directed by acclaimed filmmaker Walter Salles and based on the iconic novel by Jack Kerouac, On The Road tells the provocative story of Sal Paradise (Sam Riley), a young writer whose life is ultimately redefined by the arrival of Dean Moriarty (Garrett Hedlund), a free-spirited, fearless, fast-talking Westerner and his girl, Marylou (Kristen Stewart). Traveling cross-country, Sal and Dean venture out on a personal quest for freedom from the conformity and conservatism engulfing them in search of the unknown, themselves, and the pursuit of it – the pure essence of experience. Seeking unchartered terrain and the last American frontier, the duo encounter an eclectic mix of men and women, each adding meaning to their desire for a new way of life. The screenplay is by Jose Rivera (Academy Award nominee for The Motorcycle Diaries), while Executive Producer Francis Ford Coppola has been developing the project since 1978. Also stars Viggo Mortensen and Kirsten Dunst.
