Hmm, you guys are being awfully secretive. No fair!
Cinema 3's sign looks like it was recently attacked by a poop-flinging monkey.

I was informed Monday for you techy types that the cinemas will have the following projectors installed, German made Bauer Projectors, 16mm, 35mm, and 70mm. Also Christie Digital Projectors for HD (which makes sense because they are a major supplier for Tiff). As for sound I'm to sure only that Dolby inc is a major consultant for Tiff and supplier. It is possible that only 3 of the 5 theaters will be ready on opening day ( this is what I was informed it ).

If I recall, 35MM and digital in all cinemas, 70MM in cinema #1 only and I believe 16MM in cinema #4. The sound systems and acoustics will be state of the art and sound bleeding from one auditorium to another is essentially eliminated.

oh yeah the party begins!!!!
I love this time of year, what a great way to end the summer. I'll be there with my cam, camming all the celebrities!!
The rush. BTW : I saw some huge line-up as I was going to work on King Street West at Blue Jays way, they turned the old MV5 Sales Office into a Box OFFice for TifF. - The line up was going around the block. I will be at the party on the 12th for sure. - Just cause I usually have nothing better to do on Sundays anyway, and it will be fun as their might be some VIPS There too.
TIFF rocks - Toronto we're gonna be on the map!

The new O&B Canteen restaurant has been absolutely packed all week. I ate there today and the service was slow but the food was good.

One question....
Where is the formal entrance of tiff? You know, the grand archway surrounded by statues and stuff that will be the focal point of the red carpet. In all the pictures over the months in this thread, I've never really noticed the front door. It can't be very impressive.
