TIFF Market Talks Announce New Speakers
The Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) has announced several new speakers for its Visionaries and Dialogues program at the TIFF Market. The lineup includes acclaimed director Curry Barker, Gary Oldman, and Mattel Studios President and Barbie producer Robbie Brenner.
Barker’s psychological thriller, Obsession, will be a key part of the Dialogues program. The film, which premiered in TIFF’s Midnight Madness sidebar last year, has seen significant box office success. Barker will be joined by the film’s star, Inde Navarrette, to discuss the making of the film and its subsequent release journey.
Oldman, a renowned actor, will be in Toronto for the premiere of the sixth season of Apple-backed drama Slow Horses in the TV-focused Primetime section. He will speak as part of the market’s Visionaries talks sidebar, alongside Oscar-nominated Brenner.
Brenner, who is also the producer of the psychological historical drama The Housewife starring Naomi Watts and Tye Sheridan, will world premiere the film as a Special Presentation at TIFF. The movie explores themes of identity, family, and power.
Other notable speakers in the Visionaries and Dialogues program include Killer Films co-founders Christine Vachon and Pamela Koffler. They will talk about the multi-faceted role of a producer and their approach to working with filmmakers.
Lee Chang-dong, who will be in Toronto for the North American premiere of his new film Possible Love and to receive the Ebert Director Tribute Award, will also give an in-depth talk about his work in the strand.
The newly unveiled speakers join previously announced guests, Warner Bros. Motion Picture Group’s Co-Chairs and CEOs Pam Abdy and Mike De Luca.
According to Geoff Macnaughton, VP, Market Programming & Theatrical at TIFF: The Market, the speakers announced today represent a sneak peek into the 7-day Summit that they’ve been working on, with more global perspectives and business-minded discussions to come.
Additional speakers and programming will be announced in the coming weeks.
