This freedom of programming is at the core of TIFF, which has often gone against the grain in terms of its curatorial practices, including not adhering to the industry-wide boycott of Russian films in 2022 following the country’s invasion of Ukraine. The festival will also feature a handful of special sections, including a focus on Hungarian auteur Béla Tarr, who will be in town for a masterclass, and spotlights on Rodrigo Cortés, Rainer Sarnet and Adilkhan Yerzhanov.
