In the timeline originally scheduled for 2020, press from far and wide would be descending into the Great White North right about now, ready to consume massive amounts of poutine and dig into a lot of awards-season potentials, work from a who’s who of world-cinema auteurs and any number of unknown pleasures projected onto big screens.
The 45th edition of the Toronto International Film Festival is indeed still taking place, kicking off this week and wrapping things up on September 19th. Over the course of the next 10 days, the annual event will show a number of movies ranging from serious star-driven dramas to psychotronic midnight movies, if not as many as usual. There will be screenings, if not exactly the recognizable, red-carpet kind, and with borders closed, they’ll be largely locals-only affairs.
Better to light a candle than curse the darkness, they say, so we’re looking ahead to what’s unfurling in the upcoming week-plus and highlighting 20 of TIFF 2020’s entries that we have our eyes on.
