Indie film festivals: Though TIFF will inevitably consume a massive amount of the city’s media attention, screen space and hair spray in the next two weeks, there’s always some room leftover for other film events. Toronto’s annual showcase for films and filmmakers from the Caribbean, the CaribbeanTales International Film Festival launches Sept. 6 with Machel Montano: Journey of a Soca King, a new doc about one of Trinidad and Tobago’s most successful musicians. Meanwhile at the Carlton, the Toronto Independent Film Festival (T.O. Indie for short) tries to lure some viewers east down the street with its slate of micro-budget and no-budget movies. MDFF presents the film’s Toronto premiere at the Royal on Sept. 7.
