6pm VISA Screening Room Schedule

Okay FilmFest friends.
Here are links to trailers and info on some of the films in the 6pm VISA Screening Schedule at "the beautiful and historic" Elgin Theatre. We can still try for Babel on Sunday Sept 10 at 11:30am but may want to consider one of these others as the "group pick" (or a back-up this year) or we might find something else (like The Last Kiss) once the complete schedule comes out on August 29th:

Friday Sept 8 - Brand Upon the Brain! (Guy Maddin - Director of The Saddest Music in the World)
Saturday Sept 9 - Stranger than Fiction (Marc Forster - Director of Finding Neverland and (coming soon) The Kite Runner) Starring Will Ferrell, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Dustin Hoffman, Queen Latifah, Emma Thompson
Sunday Sept 10 - Catch a Fire (Phillip Noyce) Starring Tim Robbins and Derek Luke
Monday Sept 11 - The Namesake (Mira Nair - Director of Monsoon Wedding)
Tuesday Sept 12 - The Fountain (Darren Aronofsky - Director of Pi and Requiem for a Dream) Starring Hugh Jackman, Rachel Weisz and Ellen Burstyn (who was nominated for an Oscar in Requiem)
Wednesday Sept 13 - Golden Door (Emanuele Crialese)
Thursday Sept 14 - Snow Cake (Marc Evans) Starring Alan Rickman, Sigourney Weaver and Carrie-Anne Moss
Friday Sept 15 - Kabul Express (Kabir Khan)

8 films + extra choices + full-time work
= an exhausting, exhilarating 10 days in Toronto!
