The selection of films beyond the official TIFF lineup and available for worldwide acquisition will each get an in-person screening for film buyers and industry execs.
“Those looking for distribution for their films have a place to bring them, show those films at market screenings or Industry Select screenings to drum up business at the festival, whether that’s business for completed films, uncompleted films, those looking for some kind of financing — all those things fall under the industry distinction,” Geoff Macnaughton, senior director of industry and theatrical programming in Toronto, explained.
The festival will also reintroduce pitch competitions to the 2023 edition in partnership with the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, and Bell Lightbox will open its roof top this year to more events by industry players, including national promotional agencies, to raise their profile on their own acquisition and launch titles.
