Toronto Film Festival Dailies
The 48th edition of the Toronto International Film Festival takes place Thursday, September 7—17, 2023 in Canada's most vibrant and exciting metropolis, it has become one of the most important film events on the festival calendar. Showcasing more than 300 films and hosting industryites from around the world, Toronto can "make or break" films looking for international distribution and a chance at Oscar gold. From glitzy red carpet premieres to challenging art films to cutting edge new media, the Festival offers something for every taste. Past Coverage 2014 2015 - Coverage 2016 in French English  Spotlight On Canadian Films
Thursday, September 4-------Following the lead of the selection of a Canadian film to open the Festival this evening (the World War I epic Passchendale by Paul Gross), the Toronto International Film Festival has laced all of its program strands with some highly anticipated local films. This is not only critical for the Toronto audiences but for the cadre of international film buyers and programmers who have descended on the city to discover, among other things, the next Canadian film gem. Five Canadian feature films will screen as part of Contemporary World Cinema, a program showcasing the best in international cinema. All are world premieres, so this will be their initial debuts on the Canadian and international stages. Lost Song (Rodrigue Jean, Quebec) Maman est chez le coiffeur (Léa Pool, Quebec)
Infused with Léa Pool’s celebrated personal vision, Maman est chez le coiffeur is a heart-warming and heart-wrenching family drama that chronicles a separation seen through the eyes of 12-year-old Élise (Marianne Fortier). After the sudden departure of her mother (Céline Bonnier), Élise is left to deal with her despondent dad and troubled younger brothers. Mothers & Daughters (Carl Bessai, British Columbia) Toronto Stories (Sook-Yin Lee, Sudz Sutherland, David Weaver and Aaron Woodley, Ontario) Un Été sans point ni coup sûr (Francis Leclerc, Quebec)
In the summer of 1969 (the same summer that brought the world the Woodstock Festival and the first walk on the moon), a 12-year-old boy dreams of making the neighbourhood baseball team. When he gets cut, his father steps in, sets up a team, and together they spend a summer full of hope and disappointment, surprises and foul balls. Sandy Mandelberger, Toronto FF Dailies Editor
