MUMBAI: The 35th Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) will be held between 9 to 19 September. During the eleven-day period, an array of 300 films from over 60 countries will be screened.
Premiering at the festival would be Kiran Rao‘s Dhobi Ghat that will rub shoulders with the world premieres of films made by Robert Redford, Emilio Esteves and Philip Seymour Hoffman.
Film celebrities likely to make their appearance at the festival are the likes of Colin Farrell, James Cameron and Cameron Diaz among others.
As is the tradition, the film that will headline the fest on the opening night will be a Canadian one called Score: A Hockey Musical that captures key elements of the Canadian identity - their passion for ice hockey, the unique musical style and sense of humour.
Viewers can watch whatever genre of film they want to see. There‘s Midnight Madness; Vanguard is for those with edgy tastes and there‘s more world cinema than you can take in.
The TIFF fete has, over the years, remained true to its objective to lead the world in cultural and creative discovery through cinema and to highlight Canadian achievements in the cinematic field.
Apart from films, there will be seminars, lectures, discussions, festivals and workshops of industry support and the opportunity to meet reputed international and Canadian filmmakers.
