Notoriety
The festival begins on Thursday
after Labor Day (Labor Day, the first Monday of September, not to be confused
with Workers 'Day on the first of May or International Workers' Day in English)
and lasts 11 days. About 300 to 400 films are presented in different
categories. The festival does not give awards but prizes.
This festival is considered one
of the most important film festivals in the world and one of the first in North
America. In 1998, Variety magazine wrote that "the Toronto Festival is the
second after Cannes in terms of stars and economic activity." Interviewed
by the National Post in 1999, Roger Ebert says: "Although Cannes has
remained the largest, Toronto is the most useful and the most active."
The festival begins in 1976 as
a retrospective of the best film festivals in the world. He has since become an
important partner of Hollywood. The festival is sometimes even considered a
first test run towards the Oscars.
