3. 60 THE MEETING PROFESSIONAL NOVEMBER 2016
You’d be forgiven
A Àlm festival
is more than
a collection
of movie
screenings;
it’s a series
of events.
These events
are where the
excitement
of a freshly
viewed Àlm
is shared,
where critical
buzz spreads
and where
Hollywood
deals are
made.
“Look at the size of that thing”
Festival-goers line up at TIFF
Bell Lightbox’s box office.
