The 44th Toronto International Film Festival (5-15 September) has presented the line-ups for its documentary strand TIFF Docs and its Midnight Madness section.
In the TIFF Docs selection, 25 non-fiction works — 18 of them having their World Premieres at the festival — will be showcased, exploring various themes from stories of key leading figures, sports, global politics, environmentalism, and racism. Thom Powers, serving his 14th year as TIFF Docs programmer, underlined: “This year’s programme captures characters you’ll never forget: lovers, fighters, dancers, athletes, despots, rebels, hustlers, and heroes.”
The section will open with the world premiere of Feras Fayyad’s The Cave [+lire aussi :

The genre-focused Midnight Madness section will feature 10 film, from established filmmakers and newcomers. As Peter Kuplowsky, lead programmer for Midnight Madness, explained: “This year’s selections challenge the traditional parameters of genre and shock cinema, but — most excitingly — half of the lineup’s wicked provocations are courtesy of filmmakers making their feature-film debut.”
Among the veterans, the line-up includes Takashi Miike’s action-comedy First Love [+lire aussi :
