Marina Antunes [Film Festival 07.24.12]



TIFF is always a monster of a festival and around these parts, we tend to get excited over the Midnight Madness but the first round of titles have been announced, care of Variety who leaked the list early, and there are a handful of titles worth note, including the fact that this year's festival is opening with Rian Johnson's time travel actioner Looper (trailer).
