"That's a wrap!", as they say in the biz. After 11 days and over 1000 public and press and industry screenings, the 36th annual Toronto International Film Festival drew to a close last night. Yesterday we reported the results of TIFF's annual festival awards ceremony, including a surprise People's Choice Award nod for Lebanese quasi-musical Where Do We Go Now?. Today I bring you my selections for the best and worst of TIFF 2011.

The 36th annual Toronto International Film Festival will draw to a close tomorrow evening, but still has plenty to offer in its final weekend. Apart from closing night gala Page Eight — which features a glittering cast, but has already aired on UK TV - many of our previous recommendations (Martha Marcy May Marlene, Snowtown, Samsara) are screening for a second or third time. We've selected some highlights from the weekend's lineup, which includes several free screenings. Bear in mind, at this stage of the fest, the rush line is your best friend. Most seats reserved for industry delegates will go unclaimed.

Today is the final day of press and industry screenings at TIFF 2011, but public screenings continue through Sunday, and the festival's organizers have made sure that there are still plenty of great films to see on the final weekend. Tonight's gala premieres are The Awakening, a 1920s UK ghost story starring Rebecca Hall, and Winnie, a biopic about Nelson Mandela's estranged wife. As for non-premium offerings, there are plenty to choose from, and the selections below should all still have tickets available.

Running in parallel to the offerings at the Lightbox and other theatrical venues at TIFF 2011 is Future Projections, a city-wide programme dedicated to the visual arts and moving image installations. Participating artists include Mr. Brainwash, James Franco and Gus Van Sant, Peter Lynch, Nicholas and Sheila Pye, David Rokeby, Elle Flanders and Tamira Swatzky, Duane Hopkins, and David Lamelas, among others. The exhibitions are free and are open to the public for the remainder of the festival, which ends this Sunday, September 18. Here are five of the programme's stand-out exhibitions.

TIFF tends to mark the end of the city's summer social scene. In contrast to our long, dark and dreary winters, summertime sees the city become a far warmer place, literally, obviously, but also socially. Torontonians begin to flock to patios and parties in droves, and, the heat seems to put many in the mood for love — or lust, at the very least.

When it came time to pen her first original screenplay — the florid, slow-burn infidelity drama Take This Waltz, starring Seth Rogen and Michelle Williams — Toronto native Sarah Polley only had one location and time of year in mind. Ahead of the film's Saturday premiere, I sat down with Polley, as well as Waltz Sarah Silverman and Luke Kirby, to talk about the film, TIFF, and Toronto.

Legendary filmmaker Francis Ford Coppola participated in a remarkable press conference on Monday morning, ostensibly to promote TIFF's world premiere of his latest film, Twixt. While Coppola and Twixt star Val Kilmer did offer some insights into the origins of the film - which was inspired by the gothic-horror writings of Edgar Allan Poe - the conference quickly became a candid, deeply personal affair, with the 72-year-old director, at times, appearing near to tears.
