- With today's final batch of films added to the Tiff line-up, I can now begin the process of completing my shortlist of films to see and in the same measure, give readers a heads up on exactly what an army of one will be covering in a 10-day, gargantuan-sized offering of a fest. With plenty of research and some hardcore planning, I'll be able to screen somewhere between 33 to 40 films - all depending on how much time I allocate towards sleep, travel, eating, interviews and boozing it up (oddly, I find the main wear and tear usually comes from the waiting in lines -- but a couple of pink pills and red bull should keep me going until day 7). I'll be publishing a list of 35 Tiff picks, knocking down one by one on a daily basis and in no particular order. We begin with the following, just announced title.
