It's a powerhouse line up this year for Short Cuts Canada.

As always, it's the biggest bang for a buck at the festival. No where else will one ticket get you 6 films or more.

If you've never been to a Short Cuts Canada screening, then you've never really been to TIFF.

For those who have been, they know that we put the emphasis on what goes on the screen, not the red carpet. You will have great opportunities to talk to the filmmakers (it's my third year and I've yet to see a handler at any of our screenings). And you will be the first to see films that make up the most diverse range of cinema at the festival. I guarantee that no other screening will show you drama, comedy, animation, documentary and experimental work in 90 minutes or less.

Too many highlights in this year's programme to put up in one blog, but I can tell you what to expect here in the coming days and weeks.

This is the first place to check for up to the minute news about films in our program (get the scoop on the new Guy Maddin film)

Stay tuned, more suprises are in store.
