Sure, we’re still in the early days of summer, but that doesn’t mean we can’t look forward to fall. Specifically, the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF).
And today, TIFF announced several new films that will be making their highly anticipated world premieres at the event. Those films include “Eden,” from director Ron Howard and starring Jude Law, Ana de Armas, Vanessa Kirby, Daniel Bruhl, and Sydney Sweeney, “K-Pops,” the directorial debut of musician Anderson .Paak, “Shepherds,” from director Sophie Deraspe, “Superboys of Malegaon,” from filmmaker Reema Kagti,” and “We Live in Time,” from director John Crowley and starring Andrew Garfield and Florence Pugh.
“I’m thrilled to share today’s list of World Premiere films, featuring stories from around the world that highlight the scope and breadth of TIFF’s programming,” said Anita Lee, Chief Programming Officer. “We have a Canada/France co-production set in the French Alps, directed by a French Canadian auteur; a Seoul-set comedic debut from musician Anderson .Paak; a Bollywood glimpse into the vibrant film industry of Malegaon, India; a London-set love story starring Florence Pugh from an Irish director; and a highly original survival thriller that takes us to the Galapagos Islands from Ron Howard. I can’t wait for TIFF audiences to take these journeys on the big screen and be transported by cinema together this September.”
Of course, these five films are only a small sampling of what is coming to TIFF. Each year, TIFF showcases the very best in film and is one of the premier film events. And we can expect many more world premieres to be announced closer to the festival date.
