Regina King's feature directorial debut and two projects from Metis/Algonquin director Michelle Latimer are bound for the Toronto International Film Festival.
Organizers have announced all 50 titles for September's pandemic-tailored event, which will include online public screenings geoblocked for Canada and drive-ins. In-theatre screenings are still up in the air.
"There are several films this year in the festival that feel that they are especially connected to this moment." "Putting this year's festival together, there were so many strong films directed by women from many different parts of the world, directed by Black filmmakers, Indigenous filmmakers, filmmakers of colour," Bailey said in an interview.
Big names can also be found in the thriller film "I Care A Lot" by J Blakeson, starring Rosamund Pike, Peter Dinklage, and Chris Messina. But TIFF co-head and executive director Joana Vicente did say they'll be relying heavily on drive-ins and have at least two such venues lined up, which they'll announce in the next week or so.
