The 51st edition of the Toronto International Film Festival will kick off with the Apple Original Film’s Being Heumann from director Siân Heder (CODA) as the Opening Night Film on Thursday, September 10, at Roy Thomson Hall.
Also making World Premieres in the Gala Presentations program are Prima Facie from British director Susanna White (Woman Walks Ahead, TIFF ’17); and The Assassin(s) from Korean filmmaker Hur Jin-ho (A Normal Family, TIFF ’23).
The 51st edition of the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) returns this September 10–20 with a lineup of acclaimed directors, premieres, and the inaugural TIFF: The Market.
“We’re thrilled to open this year’s Festival with Siân Heder’s inspiring follow-up to her Oscar-winning CODA,” said Cameron Bailey, CEO, TIFF. “Being Heumann features an electric performance from Ruth Madeley in the story of Judy Heumann, a world-changing advocate for accessibility. We’re also glad to reveal the news that Toronto audiences will be the first to see Cynthia Erivo in Susanna White’s searing legal drama Prima Facie, and that the South Korean power duo of director Hur Jin-ho and superstar Lee Min-ho will launch their thriller The Assassin(s) at our 51st Festival. Lots more to come.”
