ow that the madness of the admittedly disappointing Toronto International Film Festival has finally worn off, we can all rekindle our love of cinema absent of celebrity-stalking and party-hounding. Here's a good place to start: The Toronto Japanese Short Film Festival. Now in its sixth year, the festival remains modest but continues to grow every year. It helps to have a stellar selection of films to screen. Japan has always (at least since the days of Kurosawa) been a major player internationally and its directors continue to churn out intriguing films, so you can expect a good program no matter which night you choose. The festival starts tonight at Innis College Town Hall with an Opening Gala and a program dedicated to the Cannes-winning Hiroyuki Nakano. The festival continues until Friday.
