Hi, this is Daniel Garber at the Movies for Cultural Mining and CIUT 89.5 FM.

TIFF is now finished, and the stars are long gone, but the movies live on. I spoke with Jeff Harris about this year’s festival: the changes — good and bad — the movies, the celebrities and their fans, audience reactions, standing ovations, prize winners, Oscar bait, sleepers, clunkers, and more.

 
Harry Styles Fans At TIFF22
A massive crowd turned up for the premiere of My Policeman starring Harry Styles. A sea of cell phones tried to catch a glimpse of rock star.

In Part One, we talk about these movies:

  • In Conversation With Taylor Swift
  • Gutsy (TV series)
  • Sidney
  • My Policeman (pictured)
  • Triangle Of Sadness

 

 

 

Some Weird Al super-fans showed up to the Midnight Madness premiere of Weird: The Al Yankovic Story. One arrived with a homemade puppet of Al – who has become perhaps the most recognizable (or funniest) accordion player in the world.

In Part Two, we discuss:

  • Catherine Called Birdy
  • The Son
  • The Fabelmans
  • Aristotle & Dante Discover Secrets…
  • Good Night Oppy
  • Brother
  • Bones Of Crows
  • The Colour Of Ink
  • Ever Deadly
  • Weird: The Al Yankovic Story (pictured)
  • Bros
  • The Whale
  • The Banshees Of Inisherin
 
 

I spoke with Jeff Harris in person after TIFF22.
