The Toronto International Film Festival is one of the biggest events of the year, and for those of you who follow along with us on social media, you’ll have seen that we’ve been celebrating with some of our favourite films and celebrities. Along celebrities, movie lovers and our media colleagues we have the opportunity to get behind the scenes and share it with you all! Thanks to Audi Canada, we have been able to attend some of the hottest events of #TIFF16 and cannot wait to share a few of our favourites with you.
Next up on our Audi roundup is Arrival co-hosted by Audi and Johnnie Walker – a tale of what it would be like to face the reality that we are not alone in the universe. I have always loved Director Denis Villeneuve (a fellow French Canadian) and was excited to be a part of the celebrations!
“Visionary Quebecois auteur Denis Villeneuve (Prisoners, Enemy,Sicario) directs Amy Adams, Jeremy Renner and Forest Whitaker in this sci-fi drama about the panic that follows a wave of mysterious spacecraft landings across the globe.
Certain to thrill mainstream moviegoers, cinephiles, sci-fi fans, and linguistics nerds alike, Arrival challenges the notion that technology improves our ability to communicate by focusing on the fundamentals. Villeneuve finds excitement in the details, crafting an atmosphere where dissecting the various components and interpretations of a sentence is as gripping as the first sight of aliens.”
Here are a few of the star studded moments from the pre-screening event that took place here in Toronto!
