They provided us with a new logo, business cards, and a much needed update to the look &amp;amp; feel of &lt;a href="http://tofilmfest.ca/films/"&gt;TOfilmfest.ca&lt;/a&gt; (originally written in 2005).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Their efforts helped us increase the number of daily visitors to our website by 3-4 times, for the fourth consecutive year!  This attracted the support of a couple local venues and suppliers, and meant we could give something back to those who visited us!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So a very sincere thank you to all those who visited &lt;a href="http://tofilmfest.ca/films/"&gt;TOfilmfest.ca&lt;/a&gt;, came out to our events, or offered their support!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hope to see you all again next year!&lt;br /&gt;TOfilmfest&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;PS.  we wanted to personally thank all those who made this year our biggest/best yet:  &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Richard + Jason, Greg, Erik, Lara, Sean  + Vince, Adam, Chris, Elton + Dave, Melissa, Cathy, Kelly + Andy, Jamie, Sudha + Peter + Jennifer, Jonathan, Daniella + Cameron, Colin, Nicole + Pearl + Ahmad, John, Blaine, Oliver, Niv, Philip + Richard, Ian, Trevor, Vivian + Jeff, James, Richard, Ray, Eric + Chris, Nikki, Julie, Brandon, Megan, Rachel&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;a href="http://tofilmfest.ca/films/?by=Film&amp;amp;at=Covered&amp;amp;yr=2009#Covered"&gt;COVERED&lt;/a&gt; from the festival, in protest against the City-to-City Spotlight on Tel Aviv.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;August 28th, the co-director of the festival, &lt;a href="http://www.tiff.net/livefromthefestival/openlettercitytocity"&gt;Cameron Bailey responded to the film's withdrawal&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;August 31st, in a review of &lt;a href="http://tofilmfest.ca/films/?by=Title&amp;amp;at=H&amp;amp;yr=2009#History_Of_Israeli_Cinema_Part_1_A"&gt;A HISTORY OF ISRAELI CINEMA&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://theeveningclass.blogspot.com/2009/08/tiff09-history-of-israeli-cinema.html"&gt;Michael Guillen provided an examination of the issue&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;September 2nd, &lt;a href="http://torontodeclaration.blogspot.com/"&gt;The Toronto Declaration: No Celebration of Occupation&lt;/a&gt; was published.   (As noted in the &lt;a href="http://thestar.com/entertainment/tiff/article/690802"&gt;Toronto Star&lt;/a&gt;, it was endorsed by more than 60 people, including prominent members of the Jewish community such as author/activist Naomi Klein, Judy Rebick, and Israel filmmaker Udi Aloni.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;TOfilmfest contacted Cameron Bailey, co-director of the festival, because we felt that his statement — &lt;blockquote&gt;"John writes that his protest isn’t against the films or filmmakers we have chosen, but against the spotlight itself.  By that reasoning, no films programmed within this series would have met his approval, no matter what they contained."&lt;/blockquote&gt;— did not properly represent John Greyson's position.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We greatly appreciate that Mr. Bailey took the time to reply to us, and took our point, but he reiterated "&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;that &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;any&lt;/span&gt; films in a series called City to City: Tel Aviv would have met the same reaction." &lt;/span&gt;[Emphasis on &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt;any&lt;/span&gt; provided by Mr. Bailey.]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We disagreed.  So, TOfilmfest contacted Mr. Greyson to finally clarify the matter.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:130%;" &gt;Q&lt;/span&gt;: If 5 of the 10 films in the program were Palestinian/Arab film-makers, would you have had any objections to the City To City program on Tel Aviv?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:130%;" &gt;A&lt;/span&gt;: &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;"I hesitate to play the numbers/percentage game — but as I've said, there could have been a spotlight on Tel Aviv, featuring significant and diverse Palestinian voices, that truly captured the complexity of this very contested city."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Q&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;: Do I have this correct? — if the festival canceled the City To City spotlight on Tel Aviv, and dispersed those same 10 films into other programs, you would have no objection to any of those films?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:130%;" &gt;A&lt;/span&gt;: &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;"Exactly — the point of the protest is the spotlight, not the films."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We hope that sharing this information will lead to a better understanding of the positions on either side of the issue — and we very much look forward to the &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"&gt;"public forum that will bring leading filmmakers and thinkers from Tel Aviv and Toronto into debate"&lt;/span&gt; that was announced in &lt;a href="http://tiffg.ca/mediacentre/viewrelease.aspx?recordId=625"&gt;the original press release for the program&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Regards,&lt;br /&gt;#TOfilmfest&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;PS.   here's &lt;a href="http://fedreb.blogspot.com/2009/09/tiff-in-toronto.html"&gt;a thoughtful article by Moti Rieber&lt;/a&gt; – rabbi, writer, activist...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;PPS.    He first thought the protest was 'destructive grandstanding', but now &lt;a href="http://blogs.suntimes.com/ebert/2009/09/tiff_8_the_destructive_grandst.html"&gt;Roger Ebert has changed his mind&lt;/a&gt;, and now says that the festival "should never have agreed to be used like this."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;PPPS.  For the duration of TIFF, John Greyson has made his film &lt;a href="http://tofilmfest.ca/films/?by=Film&amp;amp;at=Covered&amp;amp;yr=2009#Covered"&gt;COVERED&lt;/a&gt; available online.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/link/vimeo.com')" data="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=6308870&amp;amp;server=vimeo.com&amp;amp;show_title=1&amp;amp;show_byline=1&amp;amp;show_portrait=0&amp;amp;color=&amp;amp;fullscreen=1" height="265" width="320"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=6308870&amp;amp;server=vimeo.com&amp;amp;show_title=1&amp;amp;show_byline=1&amp;amp;show_portrait=0&amp;amp;color=&amp;amp;fullscreen=1"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.blogger.com/img/film/orig/No_Image.jpg" alt="Object not playable" height="265" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7059774237797946411-8371687918500153166?l=tofilmfest.ca%2FBLOG%2Findex.htm'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/TOfilmfest/~4/hVb8dx9uYiQ" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</content><link rel="replies" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7059774237797946411/8371687918500153166/comments/default" title="Post Comments" /><link rel="replies" type="text/html" href="http://tofilmfest.ca/BLOG/2009/09/city-to-citytel-aviv-protest-clarified.htm#comment-form" title="0 Comments" /><link rel="edit" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7059774237797946411/posts/default/8371687918500153166" /><link rel="self" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7059774237797946411/posts/default/8371687918500153166" /><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://tofilmfest.ca/BLOG/2009/09/city-to-citytel-aviv-protest-clarified.htm" title="City to City/Tel Aviv protest clarified" /><author><name>TOfilmfest</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06222498529923276615</uri><email>blog@tofilmfest.ca</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd="http://schemas.google.com/g/2005" name="OpenSocialUserId" value="07652803540369142163" /></author><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7059774237797946411.post-328334975861400373</id><published>2009-09-06T13:04:00.009-04:00</published><updated>2009-09-07T18:20:47.518-04:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="TOfilmfest" /><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="TIFF09" /><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Toronto Star" /><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Peter Howell" /><title type="text">Peter Howell's CHASING THE BUZZ '09</title><content type="html">&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;
