W+L is back from TIFF with a couple projects. We’ll let you know about them as they progress.
One sour note was the cancelled screening of Pen-ek Ratanaruang’s Headshot of September 12, which we did not get to see due to some technical problems.
We were able to talk to him. “We had this problem since our first public screening in Scotiabank 2. The picture was way too dark.” But the press and industry screening the following day was okay. “It was not too dark,” Pen-Ek says.
There have been a number of disruptions caused by digital issues at Scotiabank screenings such as for Fox Searchlight’s The Descendants.
Out of the three hundred or so screenings this is bound to happen.
A great festival all around. Thanks TIFF!
