Today in Toronto it's ba-a-a-ack: the whirlwind of the Toronto International Film Festival will launch almost two weeks of screenings, parties, and celeb hunting. One of the most prestigious film festivals in the world, TIFF was named by Time as fall's most influential festival, period. More importantly, these bars are open until 4AM. Speaking of parties, catch NGUZUNGUZU at Bambi's or you'll be sorry.

Videofag is celebrating TIFF (or not) by hosting a Simpson's themed art show featuring about two dozen artists. Bry Webb (Constantines) is at AGO First Thursdays, and 416Gallery will open a new art space on Queen East. For more events, click on over to our events section.
