ELLECanada.com's Carole Park dishes on the events, the swag and celebrity sightings during this year's Film Festival.
Day 5:
Mongrel Media Party
The red carpet was rolled out once more at Toronto's artsy Distillery
District for
Mongrel Media's party. The event, taking place at the spacious Boiler House, was packed with industry to celebrate Mongrel Media's 16 films at the film<br/>festival, which included: Heaven on Earth, Il Dive, I've Loved You So
Long, Nurse. FIghter. Boy, O'Horten, Rachel Getting Married, and
Tulpan -just to name a few.
Performances by Juno-nominated Ed Hanley, Flamenco guitarist Jorge Miguel and vocal percussionists Sick Sound Syndrome all added to the energy and
vibe of the party, while at midnight, the house was still rocking with K-OS<br/>taking over the DJ booth until the wee hours of the morning.
What to look out for at TIFF today: Celebutante Paris Hilton is in town for the screening of Paris, Not France. The documentary about Hilton, directed
about Adria Petty, aims to examine the illusion that is Paris “The Heiress” and her real-life persona. Wonder if there really is a difference?
Day 7:
An Exquisite Night of Style
Toronto It-spot Lobby played TIFF host this week with VIP celebrity parties, most notable last night's “An Exquisite Night of Style.” The vodka cocktails (supplied by Wyborowa Exquisite vodka) were a-plenty while guests were treated to a fashion show hosted by renowned shoe designer, Ron White. Gorgeous male models strutted the pseudo-catwalk in Canadian creations from London Fog, Police eyewear and bespoke shirts by Marlon Durrant. For those feeling lucky, a pro-poker room was situated on the lower-level of Lobby where you could play your hand at gambling.
