Many of them are <a href="https://www.thestar.com/entertainment/movies/2013/04/17/torontos_75plus_film_festivals_learn_to_cooperate.html" target="_blank">right here in Toronto</a>. While we would love to support them all, it's just not possible. However, this year we decided to return to Baltimore for the <a href="http://mdfilmfest.com/" target="_blank"><b>Maryland Film Festival</b></a> — where we had visited 3 years ago for <a href="https://twitter.com/search?q=%23MDFF2013" target="_blank">#MDFF2013</a>.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://mdfilmfest.com/uploads/image/MFF_2016_16x24_Poster_Small(3).png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://mdfilmfest.com/uploads/image/MFF_2016_16x24_Poster_Small(3).png" height="200" width="133" /></a></div>
<br />
<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baltimore" target="_blank">Baltimore</a> is within a day's drive of Toronto; or a short flight from Pearson to <a class="external" href="http://www.bwiairport.com/en" target="_blank">Baltimore/Washington</a> via <a class="external" href="http://www.aircanada.com/en/" target="_blank">Air Canada</a>, or from Billy Bishop to <a class="external" href="http://flydulles.com/iad/dulles-international-airport" target="_blank">Dulles, Virginia</a> via <a class="external" href="http://www.flyporter.com/" target="_blank">Porter</a>. Tickets are only $12, and can easily be bought at the theatre shortly before the screening. Films seldom sell-out, line-ups are brief, and pass-holders walk right in (without needing tickets)… just like the <i>'<a class="external" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toronto_International_Film_Festival#History" target="_blank">Festival of Festivals</a>'</i> was, before it became the <b>Toronto International Film Festival</b>.<br />
<br />
<div>
<a href="https://twitter.com/search?q=%23MDFF2016" target="_blank">#MDFF2016</a> marks the 18th year for the <a href="http://mdfilmfest.com/" target="_blank">MDFF</a> — putting it about where the <b>Toronto International Film Festival</b> was in the early 1990's. But while it took almost 30 years before Toronto opened it's marquee <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TIFF_Bell_Lightbox" target="_blank"><i>Lightbox</i></a> headquarters, the <b>Maryland Film Festival</b> has already embarked on a landmark of it's own: the <a href="http://www.parkwaycampaign.org/" target="_blank"><i>Parkway Film Center</i></a>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://static1.squarespace.com/static/55db3f68e4b00537dbf6b29e/t/563ce865e4b0789a5389ad86/1446832237000/" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://static1.squarespace.com/static/55db3f68e4b00537dbf6b29e/t/563ce865e4b0789a5389ad86/1446832237000/" height="100" width="200" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
In collaboration with the <a href="https://www.mica.edu/" target="_blank">Maryland Institute College of Art</a> and <a href="https://www.jhu.edu/" target="_blank">John Hopkins University</a>, the <b>Parkway Film Center</b> will convert an 1,100-seat theatre (originally built in 1915) into three smaller cinemas, ranging from 100 to 400 seats — <i>the opening is slated for 2017</i>. Along with being the permanent home of the <a href="http://mdfilmfest.com/" target="_blank"><b>MDFF</b></a>, it will bring hundreds of new films to the heart of the city.</div>
<br />
The <a href="http://mdfilmfest.com/" target="_blank"><b>Maryland Film Festival</b></a> screens about 50 feature-films & 100 shorts — it's noncompetitive (no awards, no juries) and specifically avoids categorizing films into programs… it simply aims to provide <i>"film for everyone."</i><br />

<a href="http://tayloronhistory.com/2014/01/19/torontos-architectural-gemsthe-bell-lightbox-tiff/" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt="Toronto’s Bell Lightbox (TIFF) on King St. West" border="0" height="134" src="https://tayloronhistory.files.wordpress.com/2014/01/dscn0784_thumb.jpg" width="200" /></a></div>
Recently a friend, and fellow film-fest fan, mentioned she was choosing at least one movie from each of the festival's <b><a href="http://tofilmfest.ca/films?by=Prog" target="_blank">official programs</a> </b>— a good way to see a variety of cinema<b>.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
Last year <b><a href="http://twitter.com/Particpelic" target="_blank">@ParticPelic</a></b> spent several hours <b><a href="https://particularpelicula.wordpress.com/2014/08/27/tiff-2014-film-choices/" target="_blank">watching videos</a></b> trying to trim down her choices<b> </b>(btw, local cinema writer <b><a href="https://twitter.com/TERRORinTORONTO" target="_blank">@TerrorInToronto</a> </b>has put a list of videos together into a convenient <b><a href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLHSz7YwiHvxfL4fDNI7Ezxf6pY9et2i9g" target="_blank">single playlist for 2015</a></b>).<br />
<br />
As for us, since we add films to our website with each weekly announcement, we tend to look back at all the <b><a href="http://tofilmfest.ca/films" target="_blank">film titles</a></b> by <a href="http://tofilmfest.ca/films?by=Announce" target="_blank"><b>date of announcement</b></a>.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://tofilmfest.ca/films?by=Title"><img alt="search by title" src="http://tofilmfest.ca/imgs/search-title.gif" /></a><a href="http://tofilmfest.ca/films?by=Prog"><img alt="search by program" src="http://tofilmfest.ca/imgs/search-program.gif" /></a><a href="http://tofilmfest.ca/films?by=Announce"><img alt="search by Announcment" src="http://tofilmfest.ca/imgs/search-announcment.gif" /></a><br />
<br />
Everyone has their own method to choose their movies but fwiw, here are some other ways to <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/PickTheBestOfTheFest" target="_blank">#PicktheBestoftheFest</a> at <b><a href="http://tofilmfest.ca/films" target="_blank">TOfilmfest</a></b>:<br />
<ul>
<li><a href="http://tofilmfest.ca/films?by=Dir"><img alt="search by director" src="http://tofilmfest.ca/imgs/search-director.gif" /></a><a href="http://tofilmfest.ca/films?by=Cast"><img alt="search by cast member" src="http://tofilmfest.ca/imgs/search-cast.gif" /></a> — enjoyed the work of a particular director or actor/actress? …you'll likely want to see their latest film</li>
<li><a href="http://tofilmfest.ca/films?by=Country"><img alt="search by country" src="http://tofilmfest.ca/imgs/search-country.gif" /></a><a href="http://tofilmfest.ca/films?by=Lang"><img alt="search by language" src="http://tofilmfest.ca/imgs/search-language.gif" /></a> — want to visit another place in the world and be immersed into
another language & culture? …cinema makes it easy to travel the world!</li>
<li><a href="http://tofilmfest.ca/films?by=Class"><img alt="search by classification" src="http://tofilmfest.ca/imgs/search-classification.gif" /></a> — <a href="http://tofilmfest.ca/films?by=Class" target="_blank"><b></b></a> in Ontario any film without an official <a class="external" href="http://www.ofrb.gov.on.ca/" target="_blank"><i>OFRB</i></a> rating will be restricted to adults 18+…</li>
<li><a href="http://tofilmfest.ca/films?by=Ticket"><img alt="search by ticket" src="http://tofilmfest.ca/imgs/search-tickets.gif" /></a> — although regular tickets cost $25 (and premium screenings $48), there are plenty of <a href="http://tofilmfest.ca/films/?by=Ticket&at=Free&yr=2015#Free" target="_blank"><b>free screenings for 2015</b></a>…</li>
<li><a href="http://tofilmfest.ca/films?by=Venue"><img alt="search by theatre" src="http://tofilmfest.ca/imgs/search-theatre.gif" /></a> — tired of trekking from the <b><a href="http://tofilmfest.ca/films/?by=Venue&at=Lightbox" target="_blank">Lightbox cinema</a></b> to the <b><a href="http://tofilmfest.ca/films/?by=Venue&at=Ryerson" target="_blank">Ryerson theatre</a></b>? …pick screenings closer together! ;-)</li>
<li><a href="http://tofilmfest.ca/films?by=Sched"><img alt="search by date" src="http://tofilmfest.ca/imgs/search-date.gif" /></a> — not on vacation? …see everything that's playing when you're available</li>
<li><a href="http://tofilmfest.ca/films?by=Rating"><img alt="search by star rating" src="http://tofilmfest.ca/imgs/search-rating.gif" /></a> — many films have screened previously, and been reviewed by movie critics… why not check?</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><b style="font-weight: bold;">BONUS: <a href="http://tofilmfest.ca/films/?by=RELEASE&at=ALL" target="_blank">Release dates</a></b> — many films have a theatrical release already set for the fall …so you can see them later!</li>
</ul>
Btw, if you're on-the-go, without access to the internet, <b><a href="http://tiff.net/schedule-pdf" target="_blank">download a PDF file of the 2015 Official Film Schedule</a></b> (note there are some <b><a href="http://tiff.net/festivals/festival15/changes" target="_blank">changes to the schedule for 2015</a>)</b>.<br />
<br />
And, if you only have your smartphone, try <a href="http://tofilmfest.ca/TIFFwidget/" target="_blank"><b>TIFFwidget</b></a> — a mobile-friendly website that uses data from <b><a href="http://tofilmfest.ca/films" target="_blank">TOfilmfest</a></b>.<br />

Last year we did the <b><a class="external" href="http://md-filmfest.com/" target="_blank">Maryland Film Festival</a></b>, and recently one of our friends (film-producer and festival-programmer), who's heading up from Baltimore for <a class="external" href="http://twitter.com/search?q=%23TIFF14" target="_blank"><b>TIFF'14</b></a>, asked:<br />
<ul>
<li><b>What movies are you looking forward to seeing the most and WHY?</b><br /><i>Is it the director, screening location, time of day, running time, time of week, better popcorn? What goes into everyone's selection process?</i></li>
</ul>
It's a great question, because the <b>Toronto International Film Fest</b> is a <i>"<a class="external" href="http://www.indiewire.com/article/the-7-types-of-film-festivals-you-will-meet" target="_blank">no-time-to-eat-or-breathe</a>"</i> festival. It's just <i>not possible to see more than a fraction of the <b><a href="http://tofilmfest.ca/films/?by=Title&at=ALL" target="_blank">400+ films</a></b> screening </i>over <a href="http://media.tiff.net.s3.amazonaws.com/content/pdf/TIFF_Festival14_sched%2Bindex.pdf" target="_blank">11 days</a> — and it's especially challenging, from a scheduling perspective, because there are often <i>20+ films screening <a href="http://tofilmfest.ca/films/?by=Sched&at=Sat.13&yr=2014#7:00pm" target="_blank"><b>at the same time</b></a>!</i><br />
<br />

<br />
So, for what it's worth, these are some of the things we consider when selecting our screenings:<br />
<ul>
<li><b><a href="http://tofilmfest.ca/films?by=Dir" target="_blank">Director</a></b>/<a href="http://tofilmfest.ca/films?by=Cast" target="_blank"><b>Actor</b>/<b>Actress</b></a> – if you've followed and enjoyed the work of a particular director or actor/actress, you'll likely want to see their latest film</li>
<li><a href="http://tofilmfest.ca/films?by=Country" style="font-weight: bold;" target="_blank">Countries</a> & <a href="http://tofilmfest.ca/films?by=Lang" style="font-weight: bold;" target="_blank">Languages</a> – if you want to visit another place in the world, be immersed into another language and culture, cinema makes it easy to travel the world</li>
<li><a href="http://tofilmfest.ca/films?by=Class" target="_blank"><b>Classification</b></a> – although some movies may be intended for a younger audience, any film without an official <a href="http://www.ofrb.gov.on.ca/" target="_blank"><i>OFRB</i></a> rating will be restricted to adults 18+</li>
<li><b><a href="http://tofilmfest.ca/films/?by=RELEASE&at=ALL" target="_blank">Release dates</a></b> – some may want to be the first to see a new film, but we generally avoid films that have a theatrical release already set for the fall</li>
<a href="http://www.thestar.com/entertainment/movies/2013/01/11/the_10_best_seats_at_toronto_movie_theatres.html" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZO2q3AH_zZV9vsM-FPRGi7OOi2HufL8JsXLFIK_lLjmFTyoqrlPl8zAODnZz0LPnWCKESCNn2a3ZMOuK2CzI6s_xj6bsg8N7_6UUyeeVBoekS0dym0koADLC8aLj0SagWK1GKNpsaEco/s1600/bestseats.jpeg.size.xxlarge.letterbox.jpeg" height="131" width="200" />
</a>
<li><a href="http://www.thestar.com/entertainment/movies/2013/01/11/the_10_best_seats_at_toronto_movie_theatres.html" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;" target="_blank"><b></b></a><b><a href="http://tofilmfest.ca/films/?by=Ticket" target="_blank">Ticket prices</a></b> – with advance ticket package <i><a href="http://tifftalk.blogspot.ca/2014/06/tiff-2014-ticket-package-changes.html" target="_blank">prices up 28% this year</a></i>, and $46 'premium' screenings appearing across many different programs, it's important to consider whether your choices are likely to be worth the expense</li>
<li><b><a href="http://tofilmfest.ca/films/?by=Rating" target="_blank">Star-rated reviews</a></b> – many films that have screened previously have been reviewed by critics, so it's wise to check (although, it's possible that whatever earned a film a rave-review, may cause you to avoid it; likewise a damning review might cite something that compels you to want to see it for yourself)</li>
<li><b><a href="http://tofilmfest.ca/films/?by=Venue" target="_blank">Location</a></b> – certainly some cinemas are better than others, but it's not a factor for us (we still believe it's better to watch a great film in vintage-seats, than some movie you'll soon forget, in comfortable/modern ones)</li>
<li><b><a href="http://tofilmfest.ca/films/?by=Sched" target="_blank">Timing</a></b> – it's definitely advisable to plan most of your screenings within a reasonable <i><a href="http://tiffmidnightmadness.blogspot.co.uk/2014/08/navigating-tiff-part-1-distance-foot.html" target="_blank">walking radius</a></i>, and give yourself ample time to get in the line, for the next film</li>
