The Toronto International Film Festival is giving more details on a hybrid festival that will largely feature digital screenings for home viewers but will also offer in-person screenings at venues such as TIFF Bell Lightbox and the Isabel Bader Theatre.

TIFF co-heads Cameron Bailey and Joana Vicente say the cost will be the same whether in-person or online, with regular screenings priced at $19 including taxes and fees, and premium ones going for $26.

Cars of one or two people can catch TIFF titles at the Visa Skyline Drive-In at CityView, and RBC Lakeside Drive-In at Ontario Place for $49 including taxes and fees, while cars with three or more people cost $69. And open-air screenings at the West Island Open Air Cinema at Ontario Place can accommodate two people on a "lawn pod" for $38 including taxes and fees.

Anyone in Canada will be able to check out TIFF's secure digital platform, called Bell Digital Cinema, and stream watermarked titles to their TV through Chromecast or a newly developed TIFF app set for release at the Apple App Store on Sept. 9. Staggered presales to TIFF contributors and insiders start Aug. 28, with sales to the general public opening Sept. 5. The Toronto International Film Festival runs Sept. 10 to 19.

Ummm, this a terrible idea. TIFF needs to check itself. It's a volunteer based organization. Awful that they are putting people at risk for a stupid movie festival.

Why is Tiff allowed but lockdowns for children are province wide?

Lorne Gunter: Putting the pandemic into perspectiveIn Canada, the 1918\u002D1920 flu killed 55,000. In today’s terms, with our current population of 37 million, COVID\u002D19 would have to kill 250,000 to be of the same magnitude Literally nobody is still doing social bubbles or practicing and meaningful level of social distancing with family and friends. Why no mention of people from other countries coming into Canada? Why just the US? Why not China? Why don't you compare this to other pandemics? Good grief, Lorne. You support suspending freedom of movement, but are not happy about enforced wearing a mask for 15 minutes while shopping.

B.C. reports 131 new COVID-19 cases, surpassing 4,000 since pandemic beganHealth officials in British Columbia have found 131 more cases of COVID-19 since Friday, bringing the provincial total to 4,065 cases since the pandemic began. Just remember, if you live where masks are mandated, every sex offender or pedophile can now talk to your kids and follow them into a public bathroom or their school and no accurate description can be given if they are wearing a mask 🤔. Let that sink in! Oh dear and the death toll in the last two months is?

Understaffing turned seniors’ homes into COVID-19 danger zones, health workers say. What can be done to fix that?Nurses, personal support workers and patient advocates are pressing for a long-term solution to long-term care's chronic problems, which the pandemic has laid bare Hire more trained professionals and pay them as such. Destroying children’s lives and the economy because of a nursing home crisis is immoral. Abusing children is not the solution to a nursing home crisis. Patients overdrugged to reduce their anxiety. The smell of feces from unchanged diapers. Hair matted from lack of washing. Fallen seniors with no one to help them up. 😢😢

Why learning from home is an unlikely training ground for a post-pandemic world - Macleans.caThe pandemic has accelerated a trend that was already taking hold in higher education. And that, surprisingly, might be a good thing. Who is going to brainwash these kids if there is no campus groups? Oh right the professors will have to pick up the slack.
