Toronto International Film Festival has added five more world premiere titles to its Gala and Special Presentation programs.
The new titles include Ron Howard’s survival thriller Eden, starring Jude Law, Ana de Armas and Sydney Sweeney and romance We Live in Time starring Florence Pugh and Andrew Garfield.
The further three additions are Shepherds, about a young advertising executive who trades in his Montreal life to become a shepherd in France; K-POPS, a dramatic comedy that takes inspiration from eight-time Grammy Award winner Anderson Paak’s own life, and Superboys of Malegaon, a film based on the life of Nasir Shaikh, an amateur filmmaker from the town of Malegaon, India, and We Live in Time.
“I’m thrilled to share today’s list of World Premiere films, featuring stories from around the world that highlight the scope and breadth of TIFF’s programming,” said TIFF Chief Programming Officer Anita Lee,
“We have a Canada/France co-production set in the French Alps, directed by a French Canadian auteur; a Seoul-set comedic debut from musician Anderson .Paak; a Bollywood glimpse into the vibrant film industry of Malegaon, India; a London-set love story starring Florence Pugh from an Irish director; and a highly original survival thriller that takes us to the Galapagos Islands from Ron Howard. I can’t wait for TIFF audiences to take these journeys on the big screen and be transported by cinema together this September.”
