Toronto International Film Festival 2020 Feature Film Lineup: BRUISED, GOOD JOE BELL, PIECES OF A WOMAN, & More

Toronto International Film Festival 2020 Feature Film Lineup

Bruised, Good Joe Bell, Pieces of a Woman, and the other films in the Feature Film section of the 2020 Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) has been announced. The 45th Toronto International Film Festival is “a publicly-attended non-competitive film festival. Founded in 1976, the TIFF is now one of the most prestigious film festivals in the world. The festival has begun to give more attention to mainstream Hollywood films [but] still maintains its focus on independent cinema. It features retrospectives of national cinemas and individual directors, highlights of Canadian cinema, as well as a variety of African, South American, and Asian films.”

This year at TIFF, there will only be “50 new feature films [and] five programmes of short films” due to Coronavirus (Covid-19) and a lack of in-person attendance, down from the hundreds the festival usually screens for patrons and press. The festival will be opened by the Spike Lee–directed film David Byrne’s American Utopia and it will be closed by Mira Nair’s six-part drama series adaptation of the novel A Suitable Boy by Vikram Seth.
