The coolest movie opening this week is Be Kind Rewind, which is a treasure trove of Things White People Like, as it stars Jack Black and his black friend played by Mos Def, and is directed by Michel Gondry, and has lots of irony, seeing as how it is about a couple of people who erase all the videotapes in their video store and then make their own mocking versions of the movies they erased. In all seriousness, though, it looks pretty funny, so possibly people who are not white will like it as well!

Starting today, you must have a passport to fly from Canada to the U.S. If you're dead set on clearing customs, it might be best to leave your anti-Bush shirts at home.

A slightly quieter day, day four, but then it was a Sunday. We didn't really see much on the press and industry schedule that we thought was a good bet during the afternoon so we hit the Canadian Film Centre barbecue, held in the grounds of the Windfields, the home of the Canadian Film Centre. A fair bus trip away, much like a lot of the festival it involved a lot of queueing (this time for food) and true to form it was worth waiting for, with everything from sausages in "pretzel buns" to Indian food on offer. While as we've already stated we're not that great at star spotting, we did notice K'Sun Ray, star of Fido, and Jamie Travis and Courtenay Webber, director and star respectively of the Patterns series (which we love to bits).

Unlike usual, this isn't a post about a single programme at TIFF, but we’re going to let this one slip by as it used to be the Planet Africa programme, and the selection is really, really good this year.
