Paris Hilton Tries to be Strategic at the Toronto Film Festival

Paris has got a plan! Apparently, she’s forced the Toronto International Film Festival to cancel a couple of screenings of her new documentary that will be showing there next week, in order to drum up some hype for the film. She thought of this on her own?

The movie, called “Paris, Not France,” directed by Adrian Petty (daughter of Tom Petty) is basically just a flick about Paris’ life. I’m sure I’ve seen the same thing on MTV or E! or something like that at some point. Well now you can pay to see the same thing, if you can get into the only screening of it at the film fest.  Either that, or you can wait till it comes out in theaters, and pay to see it there. Paris’ rep Jason Moore tells Page Six,

We wanted to create more buzz - create some hype. We felt the impact would be more extreme if we had one screening. She is a partner with the documentary and will be attending Tuesday’s screening in support of it.

Ah! “we wanted to create more buzz,” not “Paris wanted to create more buzz.” I knew I didn’t just miss the news about her brain overloading and bursting into flames.

Apparently festival organizers are P.O’ed about the filmmakers’ ingenious plan, but there’s nothing they can do about it because Paris Hilton just did her little pout. Toronto Film Fest programmer Thom Powers says,

I wish we could do more, but it’s better than not showing it at all.
