   Anyone have any thoughts on the minimum amount of travel time advisable to leave to get from the Varsity to the Elgin?

   Thanks.

   You can walk in about 30 minutes. Other option is you can walk from Varsity to Bloor/Yonge subway and take it up to Queen Subway which'll put you right beside the Elgin, this should take no more than 15 minutes including walking & train wait - unless there is some unexpected train issue (rare). It'll cost $3 or so for subway.

   If it's your first time at the festival you should be aware that it's good to have a minimum of "1hr+travel time" gap between film ending time and next starting time. It's certainly possible with less, but as a long time attendee, I'd advise against for the best experience. :)

   (I tend to leave longer gaps whenever possible - but I enjoy the line-ups as part of the experience and enjoy getting good seats.)

   I agree with abishop. You must give yourself at least an hour in between movies. Sometimes there are delays (e.g. speeches) that may result in you running like a mad dog to the another theatre (which I have done many times and then getting the worst seat on the other end).
