2025 TIFF: Claire Denis & Pablo Trapero World Preems + Venice Comps Chan-wook, Ben Hania & Assayas

Date:

The 50th edition of the Toronto International Film Festival line-up is now complete with six heavyweight titles added to the final line-up. Venice Film Festival competition items in Kaouther Ben Hania‘s The Voice of Hind Rajab, Olivier AssayasThe Wizard of the Kremlin and Park Chan-wook‘s No Other Choice (alongside Cédric Jimenez‘s out of Venice comp Dog 51) will be profiled and we now have the confirmation that Claire Denis will indeed shore up with The Fence while Argentine filmmaker Pablo Trapero is indeed ready with his latest offering & Sons — which was penned by Torontonian Sarah Polley. The book to film adaptation (estranged sons of a reclusive novelist are called to meet him after he becomes convinced he is about to die) features the weighty cast of Johnny Flynn, Bill Nighy, George MacKay, Imelda Staunton, Dominic West and Noah Jupe. We’ll be flying in from the Venice Film Festival to cover some of the 209 feature films presented in Toronto.
