A year ago, TIFF faced significant challenges reclaiming its stature in the film festival hierarchy, struggling against the stronger Venice and Telluride festivals. The audience frustrations reflected the impact of global events like the COVID lockdown and industry strikes.
In 2024, TIFF showed signs of recovery. Although not all major films premiered there, many significant titles were showcased, signaling a hopeful resurgence for the festival amid competitive landscapes.
Jason Reitman's "Saturday Night," which premiered in Telluride before being featured at TIFF, exemplifies the strong lineup Toronto managed to secure this year, with its exhilarating storytelling resonating well with festival audiences.
The absence of some Oscar contenders at TIFF raised questions about its future relevance, but a return of prominent films this year sparked optimism about the festival reclaiming its former glory.
