Certain things have made it to my bucket list solely due to Instagram. Places like, Iceland, Petra, the hot air balloons over Cappadocia, Turkey, the White Sands National Monument (crossed off!).
The Lights Festival was also one of those things.
FILMI 2009
Attended the opening of Filmi 2009 at the Bloor Street Cinema on Oct 1st in support of friends who showcased their talent at the event.
The Filmi 2009 opening itself was done by Vikram Dasgupta and one of the other films "678910" was directed by Richie Mehta (of Amal) and Stuart A. McIntyre.
It was great to meet Dinesh Sachdev (who is co-founder of the Filmi organization) and all the other cast/crew of the films screened that night.

TIFF 2009
Had a blast at the Defendor After Party last night, hosted by ET Canada. Woody Harrelson, Kat Dennings, Elias Koteas and Michael Kelly were all there. As was ET Canada's glowingly pregnant Cheryl Hickey, who told us she was due "very soon", and our very own Breakfast Television favourite Dina Pugliese and her husband Aleks Mirkovich, as well as Miss Canada International 2010.
Defendor director Peter Stebbings was also in attendance with girlfriend and actress in the film, Charlotte Sullivan (whose Mother Shireen and best friend Katrina were chatting with my husband).
Also saw Michael Moore on Friday, arriving for his film, Capitalism: A Love Story.
One of the highlights of the night was the exclusive ride up to the rooftop in chauffeur-driven golf carts! CBC Radio's Jian Ghomeshi was on the golf cart in front of us on the ride up, as well.
Here are the rest of the highlights!
