It is with considerable sadness that the TFCA notes the passing of our friend and colleague Peter Brunette, who died earlier this month while attending the Taormina Film Festival in Italy. He will be sorely missed at the Toronto film festival this fall.



Angela Baldassarre — film critic, founding member of the Toronto Film Critics Association, wife, mother and a very good friend — passed away November 15th, 2007. I am writing this appreciation for her colleagues in FIPRESCI because, were it not for Angie, I wouldn’t know any of you. Angie brought the Toronto critics into the organization, placing us on film-festival juries around the world and helping our fairly insular group make new connections and new friends.
