Steven Spielberg’s “The Fabelmans” has its world premiere at TIFF, its first appearance at the Fest
“We’re going to have the excitement of the fans, the mainstream, the release of great videos and the red carpets,” TIFF EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR Cameron Bailey told Variety. “If it sounds like a Toronto family film festival, that’s who we are. “he’s going to have this year. “
As Tinseltown performs in Canada, it will once again be celebrated with glowing premieres, celebrity panels and crowded auditoriums that studio executives say are among the most enthusiastic and least jaded festivals of any major festival. Premieres just aren’t a thing at TIFF, where even the most boring film is met with well-behaved applause.
And that’s part of why the festival’s lineup of gala systems and special appearances is, as it was before the pandemic clouded everything, brimming with glitzy premieres. Mendes will be present with “Empire of Light,” a roguece set in an English seaside cinema starring Olivia Colguy and Colin Firth. Polley will premiere “Speaking Women,” a scathing look at a women’s organization in a remote devout Mennonite colony in Bolivia that suffers from a series of sexual assaults. Perry introduces his coming-of-age drama ‘A Jazzguy’s Blues,’ a deeply private film that would mark a break from the bigger comedies and dramas that propelled him to the A-list. Aronofsky will look to cement ‘The Whale’Array, a drama about a 600-pound guy looking to reconnect with his daughter, as an Oscar favorite after its premiere at the Venice Film Festival this month. And Hudlin comes to Toronto with “Sidney,” a documentary about barrier-breaking actor Sidney Poitier that was made with input from the screen legend’s family. To build the icon share, it is produced through Oprah Winfrey.
They are inscribed in world premieres announced in the past as Gina Prince-Bythewood’s former epic “The Woman King”, Rian Johnson’s star mystery “Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery” and Steven Spielberg’s “The Fabelmans”, an upcoming semi-autobiographical film. . age history. The festival will also feature two unique looks at the LGBTQ party: “My Policeman,” a drama starring Harry Styles as a police officer locked up in 1950s England, and “Bros,” a noisy romantic comedy by Billy Eichner that is one of the first “cute dating” stories to focus on gay men from a giant studio. Both films were announced before TIFF released the top of its list on Thursday.
Many of the films screened at TIFF reflect how Hollywood’s efforts to be more inclusive are beginning to reshape the types of films it produces. Bailey noted that films like Lena Dunham’s medieval comedy “Catherine Called Birdy” or Lila Neugebauer’s “Causeway,” a drama about a soldier suffering a traumatic brain injury starring Jennifer Lawrence, are projects told from a female perspective.
“The global of cinema and films going on to festivals has been profoundly affected by a kind of awareness and awakening in terms of genre,” bailey says. “We see a lot more videos of women and more stories that weren’t told when men ruled. the global film or that were placed in the background of men’s stories. When you put women in the writer’s chair or camera as administrators or main characters, you get other kinds of stories and those that resonate in other tactics with the audience.
Expanding Hollywood’s openness simply about telling more female stories. There are a number of films on TIFF, such as “The Woman King,” the story of an all-female army of African warriors regiment, or Stephen Williams’ “Chevalier,” a drama about a black violinist and composer at the court of Frenchman Louis XVI, which sheds light on parts of hitale that have been largely ignored in studios.
“We have a number of wonderful films by black filmmakers about the black experience,” Bailey says. “There’s an expansion of the stories being told and a growing popularity that those audiences have been here for a long time, hungry for stories like those. “
Other notable additions to the festival come with the world premieres of Stephen Frears’ “The Lost King,” the story of an amateur historian’s search for the remains of King Richard III; “What does love have to do with it?”Shekhar Kapur, an intercultural romantic comedy that alternates between London and South Asia; and “The Prisoner’s Daughter” via Catherine Hardwicke, a drama about a former inmate who seeks to forge a bond with his circle of relatives after his release from prison. There are also such unconventional entries as Mark Mylod’s “The Menu,” a dark, comedic horror film starring Ralph Fiennes as a sinister celebrity chef, and Ruben Östlund’s “Triangle of Sadness,” a clever combination of observation with class and eschatological humor that was the Cannes toast.
TIFF has an enviable track record when it comes to highlighting films that dominate awards season. Recent festivals, even those that have positioned themselves under the COVID spectrum, have included shocking premieres for longtime Oscar winners like “The Power of the Dog. “, “Belfast” and “Nomadland” (the Best Picture of 2022, “CODA,” was already streaming on Apple TV when TIFF arrived). This year’s collection will see the return of Peter Farrelly, whose latest recent effort, “Green Book,” won an audience award at its screening at TIFF in 2018 before being named Best Picture at the Oscars. Return with “The Greatest Beer Run Ever,” a war comedy-drama starring Zac Efron, Russell Crowe and Bill Murray. Will magic hit twice?
More films will be coming to Canada in hopes of building on the momentum they’ve created at previous festivals. These come with “Triangle of Sadness,” which won the Palme d’Or, as well as “Holy Spider,” the story of an Iranian Serial Killer who was another escape from Cannes. Many filmmakers, such as Aronofsky and Florian Zeller of “The Son,” will deal with serious cases of jet lag while traveling from Venice, where their films debut, to TIFF, where their films will also be screened. And some videos that will come out of the Lido, such as “Bardo” by Alejandro J. Iñárritu and “Bones and All” by Luca Guadagnino skip the TIFF, Bailey hesitated whether or not to decline the invitations.
“I’m not really talking about the films that will be at the festival,” Bailey says. “I’ll just tell you that I’m incredibly excited about this programming, and I think our audience will be too. “
The festival will take place from 8 to 18 September. TIFF will reveal in the coming days its possible programming options for its Midnight Madness, Discovery and other sections. The organization of the festival plans to host between two hundred feature films and 40 short films in the other vertical sectors.
