TIFF Season is Here

The Toronto International Film Festival wraps up this Sunday, marking an incredible 48 years of cinematic celebration and cultural impact. Since its inception in 1976, TIFF has grown into a global platform, showcasing visionary filmmakers and pushing the boundaries of storytelling. As we honor nearly five decades of groundbreaking cinema, immerse yourself in these films that embody the spirit of artistic excellence and innovation that TIFF has championed year after year, now streaming on Fandor.

Collection Highlights Include:

Another Country

Featuring early performances by Colin Firth and Rupert Everett, ANOTHER COUNTRY offers a profound critique of societal norms and personal betrayal. With Merchant-Ivory-esque painterly visuals, this 1984 TIFF selection stands as a groundbreaking portrayal of political disillusionment.

Aberdeen

Featured in the Contemporary World Cinema section at the 2000 Toronto International Film Festival, Hans Petter Moland's ABERDEEN is a poignant exploration of fractured relationships and the redemptive power of reconciliation, led by Stellan Skarsgård, Lena Headey, and Charlotte Rampling.

Bunohan

Making its North American premiere at the 2011 Toronto International Film Festival, BUNOHAN follows three estranged brothers into a deadly spiral of deceit and betrayal. The film’s exploration of loyalty, corruption, and the cost of family ties unfolds in a strikingly powerful narrative of loss and redemption.

Curated Spotlight

Directed by Mahamat-Saleh Haroun, this Cannes Jury Prize-winning film is a poignant exploration of a father's heartbreaking choice amid the chaos of war and poverty in Chad. The film's dominant motif of water serves as both a symbol of survival and spiritual cleansing, with stunning visuals that contrast the harsh desert landscape against the backdrop of a country torn apart by civil conflict. Watch this deeply humane and visually sublime portrayal of family life in A SCREAMING MAN on Fandor now!
