• Well, it looks like that good Eastern Canadian news that Kevin hinted about is actually what everyone had hoped! Dogma will be featured as a “Special Presentation” at The Toronto Film Festival! Another proverbial notch in the bedpost for the flick, which is having the honor of playing at a growing number of film festivals to rave reviews. We assume that Dogma will be an amazingly hot ticket at the fest…

…But we’ve got some good news! Tickets are still available! Grab them while you can. Tickets for individual screenings are $11.77 (Canadian) and are available at the festival box office at 444 Younge St, Toronto starting September 8. But beware: Most festival regulars buy passes in advance, which can be redeemed for tickets starting September 2. If you don’t have passes or coupons and want to buy individual tickets, you might find yourself shut out of popular screenings.

Passes and coupons cab be ordered through the web site or by phone (416) 968-3456.

The festival schedule is available at the box office Aug. 31st, and on the web September 1st.

Festival passes (good for 50 films) cost $278.20 (Canadian). A 10-film coupon book is $90.95, and a daytime pass (for any 25 films that start before 6pm) os $107.

Last minute rush tickets are sometimes available even for sold out films, because of no-shows. Best bet: Get in line early outside festival theatres and hope for the best.

For those of you who try to make it into the flick and get turned away, though…Jason Lee’s new flick, “Mumford”, which looks quite good, will be a gala presentation. Its Gala opening is on Saturday the 11th at 6:30 at Roy Thompson Hall.

This is a HUGE festival folks, and all the shows, showtimes, and other great stuff can be found on their official site.
