Film festivals form an inseparable integral part of Toronto! Toronto culture, and another a new one is just starting off with its first season this Sunday, March 6th. The Toronto Irish Film Festival, founded back in 2009, is going to take place in the TIFF Bell Lightbox, located at 350 King Street West.
Visitors will have a chance to see few some hilarious animated pieces : The Secret of Kells or Granny O'Grimm's Sleeping Beauty, as well as a documentary called His & Hers. It seems like a good choice of movies to me, and even the Irish Ambassador to Canada, His Excellency Ray Bassett, has announced he is going to attend the festival. That is, in my opinion, a pretty successful start for the, the hopefully regular, regular event.
The Toronto Irish Film Festival should prove to all the visitors that Ireland has a lot more to offer, apart from than the already well known Saint Patrick's Day. I really hope that even though this is just the first year, not more than just people with of Irish roots background will attend the festival.
