Getting Ready to Turn on the Lightbox

Yesterday, while diehard TIFF-goers were well into their second screenings, Torontoist was getting a preview of the future of the festival: the Bell Lightbox. Spanning the northwest corner of King and John, the enormous 175,000-square-foot space already feels like TIFF Central, despite being at present uniformly grey, dusty, and full of building materials. Artistic Director Noah Cowan, who has encyclopedic knowledge of seemingly every detail of the project, has been shuttling media through for the past few weeks, trying to promote fundraising efforts, which is paying off. After hearing what's in store for the Lightbox, it's no wonder benefactors are coming forward.
