A return to mostly in-person screenings for this year’s festival offers a muted selection of films still hoping for an awards push
New films from Jake Gyllenhaal and Jessica Chastain are among the world premieres set for this year’s Toronto film festival starting this week.
After last year’s iteration retreated mostly online, bar some limited physical events, this September will see a return to a more traditional in-person format, albeit one that’s less extravagant than a normal year. Attendees will be required to show proof of vaccination or a negative Covid test to enter venues, falling in line with other recent film festivals across the world. Mask-wearing will also be mandatory.
