In answer to our call for TIFF doc picks, Karina Longworth of SpoutBlog writes:

I think there's a neat symmetry to the fact that TIFF 2009's highest-profile nonfiction selection is called Capitalism: A Love Story -- after all, with Valentino: The Last Emperor and Food Inc, TIFF 2008 launched two documentary hits dealing with contemporary patterns of commercial consumption. Several of the films I plan to see at this year's festival seem equally concerned with the intersection of capitalism and culture.  I'm fascinated with the crazy teflon reign of Silvio Berlusconi, so of course I'm excited about Videocracy, and also Cleanflix -- because between censorship, false piety, sex scandals and hypocrisy, what's not to love?

Once Upon a Time Proletarian: 12 Tales of a Country sounds incredible. I read a statement from director Xiaolu Guo about how this project grew out of the production of her Locarno-winning fiction film She, A Chinese (pictured), and now I can't wait to see the two films together.

Finally, one of my biggest regrets at Cannes this year was missing Henri-Georges Clouzot's Inferno. I'm just a nerd for movies about movies.
