PROTEST: Anti-Scientology group Anonymous is having another planned protest at the Church of Scientology today. If you haven't been to one before, hordes of people typically disguised by masks congregate outside the Scientology building and chant things like "Fuck Tom Cruise!" and encourage cars to honk their horns! Meanwhile, the staff at the Church of Scientology chill out in their foyer, have a potluck luncheon, and watch the festivities occur. We're not really sure which organization is more annoying. Church of Scientology (696 Yonge Street), 9:30 a.m., FREE.

On this day last year, Torontoist received the "How to Post" email message, detailing posting, linking and all sorts of other neat blogging essentials. Exactly one year later, we still have the email. So this isn't our birthday, but more so the night our parents conceived us.

So tonight is the big opening of the Festival, with certain sections of the city all abuzz with poseurs yammering into cell phones, except now not in Canadian accents! All the staff and hardworking volunteers will be hoping it all goes off without a hitch, terrified and excited at the thought of nearly two weeks of celebrities, parties, networking… oh, and films, I guess. The opening night Gala tonight is Deepak Mehta’s Water, a film shut down by Indian extremists, forcing the director to film the rest of her examination of ostracized Indian widows in Sri Lanka. Torontoist, naturally, doesn’t have tickets, and due to Ontario’s severe laws won’t be scoring any on eBay either, so we're here with a look at the Contemporary World Cinema and Reel to Reel programmes.
