The Boy and the Heron. The Boy and the Heron will serve as TIFF's opening night film — the first time in history that an animated film has opened the festival. Legendary anime master and Oscar-winning filmmaker Hayao Miyazaki (Spirited Away) returns 10 years after The Wind Rises with a movie that has been shrouded in secrecy, despite Studio ...
Jun 23, 2023 · For Cameron Bailey, CEO of the Toronto International Film Festival, things are looking up. The 2023 event is in-person doing what it does best: accessible, open, public-facing,...
- Guillermo del Toro welcomed audiences on opening night. Traditionally, TIFF is a star-studded affair with the casts of 200+ movies swarming King Street in downtown Toronto.
- The return of the Bulgari ad (now with clapping) Two of the biggest stars at the 2023 TIFF were not even in Canada. Anne Hathaway and Zendaya returned for the second year in a row via the Bulgari ad that played before every screening at the festival.
- Anna Kendrick established herself as a director. Perhaps out of happenstance and perhaps as a way to woo big named stars to the festival under the moniker of "director," TIFF programmed numerous films this year by actors-turned-directors like Kristen Scott Thomas, Michael Keaton, Ethan Hawke and Chris Pine.
- Nickelback launched their comeback. Despite massive popularity in the early 2000s, the rock band Nickelback has spent the last decade as the butt of the joke rather than at the top of the charts.
- Poolman. Don't tell the other Chrises, but Chris Pine has always been my favourite. So I'm doubly excited to check out his directorial debut. With his long hair and scraggly beard, Pine seems to be channelling a bit of a 1970s vibe the past few years, and the trend continues with what seems like a modern-day riff on the classic Chinatown.
- The Boy and the Heron. Perhaps the most secretive — and anticipated — movie at the festival is that way expressly by design. Directed by Japanese animation legend Hayao Miyazaki, and developed after he announced his retirement, The Boy and the Heron has been talked about for months.
- Stop Making Sense. TIFF may not be able to end the actors' strike, but it did manage to bring the members of Talking Heads back together for a special screening of the band's seminal concert film.
- Anatomy of a Fall. If you're seeing only one film at TIFF this year, I recommend Anatomy of a Fall. Incredibly scripted and performed, it follows a mother and son sorting through a death in the family.
Jul 24, 2023 · Amid strikes, Toronto has a lineup of movies including Kate Winslet, Anna Kendrick, Annette Bening, Seth Rogen, Jamie Foxx, Chris Evans, Emily Blunt and more.
