What changes have Hollywood strikes made at the Toronto Film Festival?

The closing film of the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) will be a documentary about Sylvester Stallone's life, which will be available on Netflix. Additionally, there will be a panel discussion with this iconic action film star. Other similar events during the festival will feature international representatives such as Andy Lau and Korean stars like Lee Byung-hun and Park Seo-joon, who will participate in interviews alongside renowned director Pedro Almodóvar.

What's the future of TIFF films?

Expect discussions about the recent industry strikes to be a significant topic of conversation among cinema enthusiasts, and this shadow will loom large over this year's Toronto International Film Festival. TIFF provides a ten-day opportunity to explore the world of cinema, discover emerging stars, and support talents that Hollywood's ecosystem might not be familiar with.

The presence of famous figures from the music industry at TIFF 2023

If film stars can't make it to the Toronto International Film Festival, another option is to involve music industry stars. This is not far-fetched, as Taylor Swift, for example, premiered a 35mm print of a music video at the festival last year, and TIFF has long served as a showcase for music-related documentaries. Individuals like Paul Simon, Lil Nas X (recently added to the list), and Nickelback are expected to be honored at this event.
