TIFF is over!
It was a tiring week and a half and loads of work, but it was such a valuable experience. The opporuntiy to meet other filmmakers who've gone through similar experiences to discuss with them the filmmaking process inspired and encouraged me a lot. I met two filmmakers in the 80s, Frederick Wiseman and Suzana Amaral. I had a great conversation with Suzana about the intangible creative spark that gives design, art and filmmaking it's magic.
The biggest question we got here was "what can people do to help?" So we need to put our heads together with anti-slavery oragnisations and plan an outreach programme in the coming weeks. We'll be adding a "How can I help?" section to the website in the coming weeks as well. It will have a list of contacts for Anti-Slavery International and Free the Slaves and other organisations like the UN.
We're flying back to Sydney tomorrow encouraged by the last week in Toronto. Looking forward to the next big festival!
