The 44th annual Toronto International Film Festival was held from 5 to 15 September 2019.[1] The opening gala was the documentary film Once Were Brothers: Robbie Robertson and The Band, directed by Daniel Roher,[2] and the festival closed with a screening of the biographical film Radioactive, directed by Marjane Satrapi.[3]

Awards

In addition to its regular film awards, whose winners were announced at the conclusion of the festival, the festival announced in advance that Meryl Streep would be the inaugural recipient of the TIFF Tribute Actor Award, a new lifetime achievement award to honour distinguished work in film acting.[4]

The first award recipients were announced on September 12,[5] with the major awards announced at the close of the festival on September 15.[6] In light of the fact that international filmmakers are rarely still in Toronto to accept their awards in person by the end of the festival, the organizers opted to cancel the traditional awards ceremony, and instead announced the award winners through TIFF's social media.[7]
