TIFF
Written by:Danielle SolzmanPosted on:

The Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) announced the initial selections in the Gala and Special Presentations program.

This year’s installment is the 47th edition of the festival and will run September 8-18, 2022. At the moment, there are 18 Galas and 45 Special Presentations in the Toronto program. I expect that they will announce future editions between now and the festival’s start.

“We’re excited to welcome some of the most celebrated figures in movies back to Toronto to present their Gala and Special Presentation films,” said Cameron Bailey, TIFF CEO. “With stories that span six continents and feature performances you just have to see, this lineup delivers the rich experiences we wait all year for.  Cinema is alive. Red carpets are back. And the best audience in the world awaits them in Toronto.”
