Yesterday I was told by a friend from Toronto that festival head Cameron Bailey was thinking of going digital with the Toronto International Film Festival, that is if we are still not recovered from the COVID-19 pandemic by September. At first, I thought that was a strange way of going about things, especially since TIFF is a festival platform that is, first and foremost, a major launchpad for big studio Oscar contenders. I doubt that studios like Sony, Warner Bros, A24 and Disney would want to risk piracy by premiering their films via a screener link platform.
