With the Toronto International Film Festival 2023 coming up this week, I thought it would be cool to take a look back at possibly the craziest film screening in @TIFF_NET history - Borat's premiere at Midnight Madness during TIFF 2006. @mmadnesstiff

a good and memory-triggering account although it leaves out that Michael Moore himself went into the booth, claiming he had worked as a projectionist and could fix the problem (he couldn’t, and it was concluded repair required a part impossible to acquire in Toronto at 1 am)

@SamuelAAdams That’s amazing!! I read he was going to go to another theatre to “steal the part” as well
