"Fiction features, it's such a rare and a hard thing to do, especially in this country, when you're telling stories where it's from the Black experience. People aren't knocking down our door...It's a lot of convincing." —Charles Officer (@canesugar)

@Canesugar

Acclaimed Canadian filmmaker and founder of @Canesugar Filmworks, Charles Officer’s career began with his first short film WHEN MORNING COMES in 2000.

“That sensitivity to the person behind the persona is pure Officer. He’s political, sure, but his big interest is in people. The linking of those scales—the human and the system—drives his best work.” —Daniel Glassman

“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

.@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

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

@Ava

🔴 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

@Ava

“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

@Ava

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
