In other exciting news, TIFF will be hosting a surprise screening of a never-before-seen film directed by the renowned Steven Soderbergh. The collaboration is top-secret and the mystery will be unveiled “at a later date,” says the festival. You’ll have to stay tuned for details about the tickets because it’s all still under wraps.

The festival, which runs from September 9th to the 18th, will be a combination of digital programming and in-person screenings at outdoor, indoor and drive-in venues around the city. All guests will be required to show proof of full COVID-19 vaccination to be able to see the films in person, or proof a negative test within 48 hours of the event.

After last year’s hiatus, there’s sure to be a lot of buzz and excitement as the festivities begin. Hopefully, the beautiful weather sticks around for our famous guests!
