Today in Toronto: Images, Dumpling and Sake Fest, Ontario Brewing Awards, Francophone Film Fest

Today in Toronto it's the first day of the Images Festival, possibly the world's most wide reaching film and media event. Much closer a bedfellow to art than a mega film fests like TIFF, the experimental finds a home here with feature and short screenings joined by installations, performance, art exhibits, and more.

At Propeller, nine chefs will compete for the Golden Chopsticks by creating original specialty dumplings at this culinary competition taking place at the Dumpling and Sake Fest. At Corus Quay, the Ontario Brewing Awards will celebrate their 12th year. The industry-heavy event will honour the achievements of the province's brewers - who will win best Lime-A-Rita?
