TIFF24 Schedule

Riff Raff

With an all-star ensemble that includes Ed Harris, Gabrielle Union, Jennifer Coolidge, and Bill Murray, the latest from director Dito Montiel (Man Down, TIFF ’15) is a pitch-black comedy about family, loyalty, and murder.

Daniela Forever

In the latest from Nacho Vigalondo (Colossal, TIFF ’16), Henry Golding (Crazy Rich Asians) soulfully portrays a bereaved man who enrolls in a clinical trial for a drug that allows him to reunite with his lost lover (Beatrice Grannò) through lucid dreams.

TIFF and the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation are proud to select Daniela Forever for the third edition of the Sloan Science on Film Showcase.

Following the Saturday, September 7 screening, the Sloan Science on Film Showcase will feature a Q&A with director Nacho Vigalondo and a scientific expert in lucid dreaming. The Showcase promises to explore dream states and the neuroscience behind lucid dreaming.

Funding for the Science on Film Showcase is provided by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation’s Public Understanding of Science and Technology program, which supports books, radio, film, television, theatre, and new media to reach a wide, non-specialized audience and to bridge the two cultures of science and the humanities.

The Swedish Torpedo

This beautifully textured period drama from director Frida Kempff tells the story of Sally Bauer, a Swedish mother who pursues her dream of swimming the English Channel before the Second World War envelops Europe.

We Live in Time

Featuring gorgeously detailed performances from Oscar nominees Florence Pugh and Andrew Garfield, this inventively structured romance explores the question of how to make the most of our time in this world.

The Fire Inside

Renowned cinematographer Rachel Morrison makes her feature directorial debut with this film about boxer Claressa Shields’ true-life ascent to the Olympics. It’s a unique sports story that goes beyond the triumph of the underdog to ask what comes after.

Do I Know You From Somewhere?

A committed couple finds their life slipping away, not because they’ve done anything in particular, but because their history is unwriting itself. Sort of.

Sketch

When a young girl’s peculiar drawings come to life, leaving a wake of chaos and crayon dust, a grieving family has to band together to fight them off in this feature debut reminiscent of classics like Gremlins, Jumanji, and The Goonies.

All of You

Brett Goldstein and Imogen Poots star in a stirring near-futuristic romance as best friends who harbour an unspoken love for one another even after a test matches one of them up with their supposed soulmate.

Heretic

Starring Hugh Grant, Sophie Thatcher, and Chloe East, this fiendishly irreverent chamber horror from writer-director duo Scott Beck and Bryan Woods (the celebrated scenarists behind A Quiet Place) considers how an innocent chat about theology can go terribly awry.

Relay

Lily James and Oscar winner Riz Ahmed star in this dazzlingly clever high-concept thriller directed by David Mackenzie (Hell or High Water) about a reclusive middleman for would-be whistleblowers seeking to settle with corporate malefactors.

The Assessment

Set in a future world destroyed by climate change, a couple must pass an assessment before they are allowed to have a child in this sci-fi thriller starring Alicia Vikander and Elizabeth Olsen.
