...Movies, movies and more movies. Whereas Telluride's festival, the Rocky Mountain redoubt that runs before Toronto, and New York's, which starts in late September, put only a few dozen films on display, TIFF has hundreds. Even if a Toronto cinemaniac were to get no more than a few hours' sleep a night and renounce all food except popcorn, he or she would be able to see eight or 10 pictures a day - less than a third of the festival offerings...
