The Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) has revealed its selection of the best Canadian films for 2024, featuring a diverse range of genres and perspectives.
An absurdist dramedy about an alternate-universe Winnipeg and a dystopian thriller about a famine-ravaged world are among the Toronto International Film Festival ’s picks for best Canadian films of 2024. The list includes the Winnipeg director’s cross-cultural odyssey that imagines a Canada where the two official languages are Persian and French. The film is also Canada’s official entry for best international feature film at this year’s Oscars.
Another first-time filmmaker on the list is Toronto’s director whose debut film is about an ex-military matriarch who protects her family in a future where food is scarce. Another first-time filmmaker on the list is Ottawa’s Kaniehtiio Horn, who stars in her home-invasion comedy. Among other selections are Toronto macabre master David Cronenberg’s metaphysical horror and the surrealist political comedy. The selected films will play at TIFF Lightbox from Feb. 5 to 9. TIFF says this year’s list was curated by its programmers in consultation with various festival programmers across Canada, a film about the pioneering Black transgender soul singer by Edmonton’s Michael Mabbott and Toronto’s Lucah Rosenberg-Lee
