Another wave of titles were added to the list of Gala and Special Presentations playing during the 2019 Toronto International Film Festival.
The announcement of the new Toronto titles was made this morning by TIFF co-heads Cameron Bailey and Joana Vicente. The additional titles bring the fest to a total of 20 Gala selections and 55 Special Presentations.
“We’re thrilled to announce this second wave of Galas and Special Presentations, which I believe are some of
the most compelling in the lineup,” said Bailey, Artistic Director and Co-Head of TIFF. “Audiences will be
delighted by the artistry present in this year’s splashiest sections.”
“Our TIFF programmers have given us a lot to look forward to this year,” said Vicente, Executive Director and
Co-Head of TIFF. “These final films add even more emotional resonance and gravitas to this year’s already
stellar lineup.”
Among the new selections are another of my most-anticipated films: Noah Hawley feature directorial debut, Lucy in the Sky.
