If you are a follower of Hollywood and international celebrities, then this event will definitely be appealing to you. For the most part, Toronto has movie stars and celebrities in town year round, but when the Film Festival opens, that's when the partying really begins. You'll literally be bumping into stars and maybe even shake some hands with the biggest names in Hollywood. Many onlookers tend to stay around the hotels and theatres hoping to catch a glimpse of their favourites, but if you happen to go a pub or night club, you'll definitely catch a few familiar faces around town.

The film festival in September gets the city's film fanatics crazy - people flock to the theatres for the premieres of the most popular films, and the stars come to Toronto - for best chances to see stars, hang around the Yorkville aread: Inter Continental, Four Seasons, Windsor Arms are the hotels to watch out. Sotto Sotto and Josos with the good old fashioned Bistro 990 (at 990 Bay street) both feed the stars, the Rain and Monsoon may also get some, but you probably cannot get into the Rain (Nelly Furtado did not get to her own award party - it is that exclusive...).

Toronto festival also features some less well-known films, such as things from my home country Finland, and not just the Kaurismäki's which someone might actually have heard of!
