The Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) has unveiled the ten-title official selection for its Next Wave Film Festival geared towards young filmmakers and audiences aged between 14 and 24.
The festival will run April 10-13 at TIFF’s Lightbox venue in Toronto.
Next Wave’s four Canadian premieres include Brides, the UK drama directed by Nadia Fall, which screened in the world cinema dramatic section at this year’s Sundance festival.
TIFF chief programming officer Anita Lee commented: “TIFF’s Next Wave Film Festival reflects our mission to empower young creators and cultivate an exciting relationship with cinema for Toronto’s youth that we hope will last a lifetime. This is absolutely one of our favourite events of the year as we welcome both new and now-established directors who were themselves a part of this festival not too long ago, including Emma Seligman. Emma’s journey is a testament to how TIFF has nurtured young creators, and the impact of our commitment to discovering new talent and launching the next generation of original storytellers.”
