The 30th Toronto International Film Festival ran from September 8–17 and screened 335 films from 52 countries - 109 of these films were world premieres, and 78 were North American premieres.[2][3][4][5][6]

Awards[]

At the Festival's closing event, the following prizes were awarded:[7]

  • The People's Choice Award, presented to Gavin Hood's Tsotsi.
  • The Discovery Award, presented to Sarah Watt's Look Both Ways.
  • The Fipresci Prize, presented to South Korean director Kang Yi-kwan for Sa-kwa.
  • A tie for the Citytv Award for Best Canadian First Feature, presented to Louise Archambault's Familia and Michael Mabbott's The Life and Hard Times of Guy Terrifico.
  • The Toronto – City Award for Best Canadian Feature Film, presented to C.R.A.Z.Y. directed by Jean-Marc Vallée.
  • The Bravo!FACT Short Cuts Canada Award, presented to Renuka Jeyapalan's Big Girl (Honourable mention to Andrea Dorfman's There's a Flower in My Pedal).

Because the vote for the People's Choice Award was so close, at the awards ceremony Piers Handling (festival co-director) announced four runners-up.[8] However, in the subsequent reporting there was confusion about the order of the runners-up. As reported by ScreenDaily, the results of the People's Choice Award voting was as follows:[9]

Certain other publications indicated (probably erroneously) that the order of the runners-up was reversed, with Mother of Mine finishing second to Tsotsi.[10][11][12]
