WORLD & GENRE FILM PRESS
“Toronto After Dark has a level of intimacy that just isn’t there at major festivals such as TIFF. It is run by a dedicated group of hardcore fans. There is a fair share of opportunities for devotees to not only mingle with each other but with cast and crew. You get a hell of a lot more chances to meet really cool people here than any other festival. TAD seems to understand that the experience is just as important as the movies themselves.
