The 2020 edition of the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) will continue on despite the coronavirus pandemic with an unprecedented shorter number of films than year's past. This year's festival will have to adapt like never before with physical screenings, drive-ins and digital screenings. There will be no in-person press and industry screenings or media events, with all of those taking place online. Since there will be no cast and crew in person, all red carpets, press conferences and industry talks will be virtual.

This year’s lineup reflects that tumult. The names you already know are doing brand new things this year, and there’s a whole crop of exciting new names to discover. We’re thankful to every filmmaker and company that joined us on this adventure, and we can’t wait to share these brilliant films with our audiences.” Joana Vicente, Executive Director and Co-Head of TIFF adds, “TIFF 2020 is a special edition and symbolizes what is possible when collaboration, ingenuity, and passion take centre stage. It’s also a time for us to celebrate and affirm some of the founding values of TIFF, including the power film has to propel us forward as a society and present a diversity of voices. I’m proud and excited to share these films with audiences.” The festival will run from September 10th -September 20th. What do you think of the lineup? Anything jump out at you?
