The Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) announced its 2022 program this Thursday (7/28). As usual, the 47th edition of the Canadian event will serve as a North American launch for several films with Oscar aspirations, as well as to lead to long-awaited debuts in out-of-competition screenings.
The event will open with the screening of “The Swimmers”, drama by British director Sally El Hosaini (“My Brother the Devil”), which tells the true story of the swimming sisters Yusra and Sarah Mardini, who fled as refugees from the war – Syria torn to participate in the Rio 2016 Olympics.
Among the main exclusive debuts, three titles stand out, that is, not yet announced in other festivals: “The Fabelmans”, fiction inspired by Steven Spielberg’s early memories, “Empire of Light”, an ode to cinema by Sam Mendes, and “Glass Onion: A Mystery Between Knives and Secrets “, continuation of” Knives and Secrets “, directed by Rian Johnson in 2018.
“Glass Onion” brings together a great cast, led by Daniel Craig, but there will be no shortage of stars on the red carpet of the festival, which will also screen “Causeway”, with Jennifer Lawrence, “The Menu”, with Anya Taylor-Joy, “My Policeman “, with Harry Styles, and” The Woman King “, which sees Viola Davis as a warrior from the Kingdom of Dahomey, Africa.
The Toronto Film Festival runs from 8 to 18 September. See below for the full list of films confirmed at the event.
