#TIFF23: DAY NINE SIGHTINGS – SYLVESTER STALLONE AND ANDY LAU

…and that’s a wrap for us! What a TIFF it’s been! And while we were a bit worried about being impacted by a smaller number of talent coming through, somehow we still found ourselves putting in the same amount of time and enjoying the Films just as much as we usually do.

A notable theme among some of our favourites this year was a deep exploration of male-female dynamics as we see the world through a post-#MeToo lens. Some of our favourite films namely MEMORY, DADDIO, THE ROYAL HOTEL and FAIR PLAY, explored deeply-intricate and complex human interactions, which we actually have been craving after periods of isolation these past few years.

While we still have a few movies to see, the star sighting has capped-off for us and we hope you’ve had fun on our adventures! It was so amazing getting to meet some of you in-person finally, old supporters and new!

Day nine sightings were actually loaded were mega-starpower. We saw Sylvester Stallone at TIFF Bell Lightbox heading to his In-Conversation, which we are hearing was amazing. Tomorrow he premieres his Netflix Documentary SLY at Roy Thomson Hall.



Some additional Snaps from our David Baldwin who attended the event:



You know we love our Andy Lau and it was amazing seeing the Chinese-Canadian community come out in droves to see this icon, whose career has spanned five decades. Incredible! He walked the Carpet with Director Ning Hao at Roy Thomson Hall.



A huge thanks again to our supporters and partners including:

CP24
Acura Canada
Cabano’s Cheeseburgers
Starbucks Canada

So grateful for the help of David Baldwin, Amanda Gilmore, George Kozera and Nicholas Porteous for their review contributions!



Until next year! Trust me, we’ve earned some rest!

#TIFF23: DAY EIGHT SIGHTINGS – ANDY LAU & CHRISTY HALL

Andy Lau is a recognizable name in any Chinese household and it is absolutely amazing that he’s here at TIFF ’23. What an honour! The multi-hyphenate began his career as an Actor on Hong Kong’s premiere network TVB and from that he became an international Movie Star, and one of the top kings of Chinese Pop.

Lau is here this year for THE MOVIE EMPEROR, premiering Friday night at Roy Thomson Hall. The Satire has Lau playing a middle-aged movie star trying to reclaim both the crown snd critical clout by starring in a miserablist film. He also appears Saturday at an In-Conversation at TIFF Bell Lightbox as well giving fans two chances to see him.

It was pure fandemonium as the Megastar made a rare appearance in Toronto. His fans waited at the Arrivals with signs in tow, shouting “See you tomorrow” after he greeted them in an effort to get into his SUV quickly.

Earlier, we were lucky enough to get into a screening of Christy Hall‘s impressive directorial debut, DADDIO starring Sean Penn and Dakota Johnson. Hall calls the Film her Love Letter to New York.
