A Notable Perspective: TIFF Behind the Scenes

TIFF is officially upon us and with that comes the yearly barrage of coverage on the films, the celebs and the parties.

Naturally, as Canada’s young professionals, you can count on Notable for our own coverage of TIFF, and as you probably guessed, our coverage is unique to us. That isn’t to say that we won’t bring you the party scene dirt, but we thought we’d dig a little deeper as well. As young, ambitious and innovative members of the work force, Notable is tackling TIFF from an intriguing angle that matters to you: TIFF, the industry.

The Notable.ca team is getting up close and personal with the heavy hitters behind the scenes who make this festival happen. From the overseers on the board of directors, to the permanent TIFF staff who make their living off of the annual festival – such as marketers, financiers, programming coordinators and TIFF Bell Lightbox event planners. 

We will get an inside look from TIFF from the perspective of the PR people who run the gifting suites, promote their star clients and films, and throw some of the most coveted parties. Speaking of parties, we will find out at how owners, managers and bartenders in some of the city’s hottest TIFF destinations prepare for the festival – and the 4am last call. We will also explore the opportunities for students and new graduates looking to make their way in the business and how the festival affects Torontonians and tourists alike; and, of course, the volunteers who keep it all running.

Stay tuned throughout the festival as we give you a behind-the-scenes look into all the elements that make TIFF a truly vibrant and memorable time of year in Toronto.
