TIFF's Return to Form: A Biopic, a Reckoning, and the Power of the People's Festival The Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) has long been a bellwether for awards season.
Its 51st iteration appears poised to reclaim its status as a premier platform for showcasing the best of cinema.
The announcement that Being Heumann will open this year's festival is significant, not only because of the film's subject matter – Judy Heumann's life and activism as a pioneering disability rights advocate – but also because it signals a return to form for the festival.
