I am back in the TIFF ticket line just after 6 a.m. This is so different from last year when I could waltz right in at 7 a.m. and have my choice of films. I am so not doing this again--not until TIFF gets its ticketing system into the 21st century. At least I got the ticket I wanted though: ‘Miral’. Seeing this moving film is almost worth all the trouble. Julian Schnabel, an Oscar-winning Jewish American, created a beautiful film about a young Palestinian activist. It is fitting that this film is shown here in Toronto, where those of Palestinian or Jewish heritage live in relative harmony with each other.
