Toronto International Film Festival wraps up

Highlights from the festival

Highlights from Daily Xtra’s coverage of TIFF 2013.

The Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) is wrapping up. The Hollywood stars showed up again this year in full force. Julia Roberts, Benedict Cumberbatch, Hugh Jackman and Daniel Radcliffe are just a few of the stars Daily Xtra chatted with on the red carpet before the premieres of their films.

The LGBT content of this year’s festival was high. Among the films that everyone is talking about are Blue Is the Warmest Colour, Stranger by the Lake and Kill Your Darlings.

But don’t despair — the films of this year’s festival are gone for only a short while. Most will be back for wide release. Check back here at Daily Xtra when these films have their wide release for more interviews and clips. And check out all our online coverage of TIFF 2013.
