2014 TOfilmfest Top 20 (anticipated)

Once again, we're very happy to be invited by Peter Howell, movie critic for the Toronto Star, to be a part of his annual Chasing the Buzz poll — a panel of critics/programmers/film-buffs name the film they are most looking forward to at the festival.

This will be our 7th year, and we are being asked to provide just one film title, and just one sentence to state the reason for our choice. As part of the process, we came up with a list of 20 films that we're most looking forward to at TIFF'14 – here they are, in no particular order:

1. Aire Libre, Anahí Berneri
2. The Little Death, Josh Lawson
3. The Dark Horse, James Napier Robertson
4. Heaven Knows What, Benny & Joshua Safdie
5. The World of Kanako, Tetsuya Nakashima
6. Sand Dollars, Laura Amelia Guzmán
7. Whiplash, Damien Chazelle
8. They Have Escaped, J.P. Valkeapää
9. Kabukicho Love Hotel, Ryuichi Hiroki
10. Mommy, Xavier Dolan
11. Maps to the Stars, David Cronenberg
12. Pasolini, Abel Ferrara
13. Breathe, Mélanie Laurent
14. Alleluia, Fabrice Du Welz
15. Teen Lust, Blaine Thurier
16. The Voices, Marjane Satrapi
17. Charlie’s Country, Rolf de Heer
18. The Tribe, Myroslav Slaboshpytskiy
19. Behavior, Ernesto Daranas
20. Girlhood, Céline Sciamma

The top picks from all panelists will be published in the Saturday Star on August 30th, and also appear online at TheStar.com.
