Festivals tend to have more than one jury so let's deal with the sidebar prizes first, before we get to the main competition jury, headed by Quentin Tarantino. But a little preview: Natalie Portman went home empty-handed for Black Swank but Mila Kunis didn't. Interesssssssting.
Various Sidebars
Europa Cinema Award: This honor comes from the Venice Days sidebar and the winning film was Bertrand Blier's Le Bruit des Glacons (The Clink of the Ice), a dark French comedy about an alcoholic dealing with cancer.
The Queer Lion: This prize focuses on the way films portray gay characters and themes. The winner was En el futuro (In the Future), a 62 minute black and white film directed by Mauro Andrizzi. None of the summaries seem to tell you what it's about. Hmmmm. It played in the Orizzonti sidebar of the festival. Guess they didn't like the disturbing sapphic tryst angle of Black Swan all that much.

If you're into film studies by region, then Tiff's City to City series might be a worthy sidebar initiative. It began last year with the country of Israel, which proved to be a basterdized first choice -- as the selection was deemed a political one by the media and certain filmmakers from the other side of the "fence". This year patrons can visit Istanbul, Turkey through cinema -- ten feature-length films and seven short films and despite him not having made anything recently, they had no choice but to include a film from Nuri Bilge Ceylan. Here's the selections: 10 to 11 Pelin Esmer, Turkey/France/Germany North American Premiere An elderly man clashes with his neighbours as they try to remove him – and his elaborate collections of ephemera -- from his apartment. 40 Emre Sahin, Turkey International Premiere Capturing the dazzling intensity of Istanbul's 12 million souls, Sahin's groundbreaking feature crisscrosses the lives of a petty crook,...

"This has been a hard secret to keep! When we began discussions about a short list of possible cities back in January, Istanbul quickly emerged as a leading candidate," said Cameron Bailey. "Most people know Istanbul as a dynamic city with a rich history, but its film scene is less well-known.
