our previous editions,” said Bailey, Artistic Director and Co-


Head of TIFF, “but along the way we had to rethink just about 


everything. 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.”


“TIFF 2020 is a special edition and symbolizes what is 


possible when collaboration, ingenuity, and passion take 


centre stage,” said Vicente, Executive Director and Co-Head 


of TIFF. “I​t’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.”
