Despite that, some of the TIFF staff managed to smuggle original uncut version of the film and run it into the theatre. The news was well publicised, increasing interest in the film, in turn boosting ticket sales. Difficulties arose when audiences waiting outside the theatre noticed that each ticket admitted two person thus causing anger in the crowd. The audience who were not able to get seats during the first screening were invited to a later screening.http://torontoist.com/2013/09/censoring-the-toronto-international-film-festival/ Censoring the Toronto International Film Festival October 13, 2013http://www.torontolife.com/informer/features/2010/08/26/from-the-archives-a-look-back-on-tiff%E2%80%99s-most-memorable-moments/ From the Archives: a look back on TIFF's most memorable moments October 13, 2013 https://web.archive.org/web/20131017181040/http://www.torontolife.com/informer/features/2010/08/26/from-the-archives-a-look-back-on-tiff%E2%80%99s-most-memorable-moments/ 2013-10-17 dead The People's Choice Award was introduced this year, which is given to a feature film chosen by a vote of the festival audience.http://www.icheckmovies.com/lists/toronto+international+film+festival+peoples+choice+award/moviedearest/ Toronto International Film Festival People's Choice Award October 13, 2013 Louis Malle's film Pretty Baby was banned by the OFRB, due to its sensitive subject matter.
