Roundtable_2.jpgWhew, the festival has been going strong for a week now and I've barely had time to catch my breath, nevermind blog. Then a week from today I'll return to my home base in New York City, speaking on a panel about festival programming at the IFP Filmmaker Conference and beginning the new semester teaching my Documentary Development course at New York University's School of Continuing Professional Studies. (Still time to enroll here.)

Catching up on the past week: here's a snap from Sunday's Doc Roundtables, a new initiative this year to create a networking opportunity between doc makers and industry players at TIFF's Match Club. Above, Diane Weyermann (center) from Participant Pictures talks to two filmmakers from the Canadian organization DOC, while in the foreground sales agent Andrew Herwitz (left) chats with entertainment lawyer Dan Satorius.

Other industry attendees included John Moser of Showtime, Andrea Meditch of Discovery Films, Samantha Hodder of DOC, and consultant Peter Broderick (seen holding forth below).
