Toronto svela una colorata prima ondata di selezioni
The Swimmers di Sally El Hosaini, film d'apertura del festival

Questo articolo è disponibile in inglese.

Viewed as the commencement of awards season, and one of the world's biggest public film festivals, the Toronto International Film Festival (running 8-18 September) has announced a plum selection of titles for its first wave, with its most enviable get being the world premiere of Steven Spielberg’s autobiographical drama The Fabelmans, which Venice themselves coveted.
