“When you find community, you find yourself as well.”

Star @rizwanahmed discusses how his character in SOUND OF METAL embarks on a journey from self-reliance to finding community in unexpected places.
.@dariusmarder’s assured debut feature SOUND OF METAL follows a heavy metal drummer who begins to experience hearing loss, and fights to hold on to what defines him.
“You have the deaf community, but it’s not a monolith: you have so many different people, so many different identities. And really, it’s important for us in the film to represent the deaf community and the diversity in this film.” —SOUND OF METAL star Chelsea Lee
Returning from #TIFF19, SOUND OF METAL is now available to rent on digital TIFF Bell Lightbox.

Autumn Peltier on what she hopes THE WATER WALKER will do for climate change awareness:

"Everyone needs water. We are all one. I hope we can all come together and create awareness for our future, and protect the land and the water." #TIFF20
Greta Thunberg on the future of climate activism:

"It isn’t going to be the politicians who suddenly realize there’s a climate crisis...But by influencing all people in general, we can build that pressure towards elected officials. That’s how a democracy works."
#TIFF20
"'You’re only 15 years old, why does it matter what you say?' But it’s more impactful coming from a child, because we shouldn’t have to be the ones to speak up about these issues. We have to empower youth." —Autumn Peltier on the criticism of her age as an activist

🔴 Happening now: The incredible @Ava DuVernay joins @cameron_tiff at #TIFF20 for a powerful conversation on art, activism, and Black Lives Matter.

Presented by @BronStudios
“I’m a storyteller that works a lot with historical narrative. I always feel like we’re in the presence of history, and I don’t understand why people don’t see life that way. This year, people see it that way.” ––@Ava DuVernay on 2020 #TIFF20
Advice that Gina Prince-Bythewood gave @Ava:

"Not to let bad behaviour slide, especially as related to male crew members and their interactions with you as a woman. It’s important to call it by what it is...in the open. Let it be known–certain things won’t be tolerated." #TIFF20

🔴 Happening now: Celebrate 20 years of REQUIEM FOR A DREAM with @DarrenAronofsky, @BurstynEllen, Matthew Libatique, @iamclintmansell, and James Chinlund.

Part of the Best of TIFF Reunions, presented by @bell. #TIFF20 twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…
“A lot of people think that making those films, and films that are intense in subject matter, end up being super intense and depressing sets. For me, it was a set of constant discovery and excitement, and fun.” ––@DarrenAronofsky on REQUIEM FOR A DREAM #TIFF20
Star @BurstynEllen delivered a transformative performance in REQUIEM FOR A DREAM, and earned an @TheAcademy Award nomination for it.

“Most work that you do, you can do pretty easily. But this was gorgeously hard. Difficult, and demanding, and it was just exhilarating.” #TIFF20

🔴 Happening now: Four-time Oscar nominee Saoirse Ronan joins host @annetdonahue for a special In Conversation With... to discuss her powerhouse performances over the past decade, and her new #TIFF20 film AMMONITE.
Saoirse Ronan became an actor out of necessity but fell in love the second she stepped on set:

"I like the discipline with the play aspect, but it wasn’t really until I got to 12—so much older—when I was doing ATONEMENT, that I told my Nan 'I want to do it forever." #TIFF20
On her film BROOKLYN:

“I think what made it overwhelming was that it was a very severe combining of two worlds. I was completely terrified. But it ended up being such a special film for me and it was an honour to be able to tell that story.” —Saoirse Ronan #TIFF20

“...the greatest thing I’ve ever done in my life is capturing Ellen Burstyn’s performance on film.” ––@DarrenAronofsky in 2000 on REQUIEM FOR A DREAM #TIFF20
Adapted from Hubert Selby Jr.’s classic novel, REQUIEM FOR A DREAM is a stylistically arresting film that follows four people as their dreams for a better life descend into a spiral of despair and self-destruction. #TIFF20
REQUIEM FOR A DREAM found its innovative visual style by focusing on the individual characters.

“The camera language is all directed toward subjectivity, so [the language] is born out of that notion.” ––D.O.P. Matthew Libatique #TIFF20
