After two years spent hosting largely virtual or dramatically pared-down events as a concession to COVID, the Toronto Film Festival is back. TIFF’s CEO Cameron Bailey told Variety,
“We’re going to have the fan excitement, the big audiences, the big movies launching and the red carpets,”
“If that sounds like a familiar Toronto Film Festival, that’s what we’re going to have this year.”
The festival will take place from Sept. 8 to Sept. 18. TIFF will unveil its programming choices for its Midnight Madness, Discovery and other sections in the coming days.
Here’s the complete list of films announced Thursday:
