Cannes-winning horror sensation “Titane” and a documentary on the late Canadian jazz legend Oscar Peterson are among the titles added to the Toronto International Film Festival.
“Titane,” winner of the prestigious Palme d'Or prize at last month's Cannes Film Festival, will open TIFF's horror-focused Midnight Madness program.
“Oscar Peterson: Black + White” by Canadian filmmaker Barry Avrich is billed as a “docu-concert” on the Montreal-raised piano great, who died in 2007 at the age of 82 in Mississauga, Ont.Titles announced Wednesday included selections for the TIFF Docs, Midnight Madness and avant-garde Wavelengths programs.
In “Burning” by Eva Orner, the filmmaker behind the Oscar-winning doc “Taxi to the Dark Side” looks at the recent deadly bushfires in Australia “and the lack of political will to address climate change.” “Attica” by Emmy winner Stanley Nelson will open the TIFF Docs program with a look at the largest prison uprising in U.S. history, which unfolded over five days in 1971 in upstate New York.Other Midnight Madness titles include “Dashcam” by British director Rob Savage, who made a splash last year by shooting his pandemic-set supernatural horror “Host” on the video conferencing platform Zoom.
