UPDATE (20 August 2021): The TIFF Docs, Midnight Madness and Wavelengths sections have been announced, and new titles have been added to the Contemporary World Cinema and the Special Presentations sections.

The 46^th Toronto International Film Festival (9-18 September) has announced the line-up of its Contemporary World Cinema programme, which this year includes 20 titles from around the world, along with its Discovery programme, where 16 films from up-and-coming filmmakers are featured. Plus, recently confirmed films have been added to the Gala and Special Presentations sections, whose initial line-ups were announced last week (read news). The TIFF Rewind programme has also been announced, highlighting memorable films from  past TIFF editions along with conversations and Q&As with directors and cast members.

Diana Sanchez, Senior Director Film at TIFF, said: “TIFF Programmers continue discovering compelling and diverse stories from around the globe. With these two programmes, Contemporary World Cinema and Discovery, audiences can look forward to this stellar lineup to immerse themselves in. TIFF is dedicated to amplifying the voices of Black and Indigenous filmmakers and filmmakers of colour, emerging Canadian talent, and powerful storytellers who identify as women, and we are eager for Festival-goers to experience this lineup that showcases these unique perspectives.”
