BlackBerry Walks Down The Red Carpet At TIFF

There’s more news from BlackBerry today.

The Toronto International Film Festival is one of the leading film festivals in the world with top Hollywood stars walking down the red carpet with world premiers of great movies. BlackBerry is once again an official sponsor of the 2013 Toronto International Film Festival. Not only that, A TIFF mobile application for BlackBerry is available at BlackBerry World, and is designed to enhance interaction between TIFF and festival goers. The app will provide information about the films, programmes, schedules, venues and events, access to festival photos and film trailers, as well as the ability to customize their TIFF Festival schedule with recommended viewings based on their interests.

Finally three awards will be given out to the most popular films as voted by audiences in three submission categories: the BlackBerry People’s Choice Award, the major prize given to the most popular feature-length film with the highest ratings; the BlackBerry People’s Choice Documentary Award, for the most popular documentary film in the Festival; and the BlackBerry People’s Choice Midnight Madness Award, given to the most popular screening of Midnight Madness films. TIFF Festival moviegoers will be able to vote via one of two methods: In person at the movie theatre by submitting the ballot end of their ticket into an official BlackBerry People’s Choice Award voting box, or by visiting the tiff.net/vote  and using the tracking number  on their ticket stub to vote. The winners of the BlackBerry People’s Choice Awards will be announced at the Official Festival Awards Brunch on September 15th, 2013.

Keep an eye out for BlackBerry if you go to TIFF this year.
