A motorcade of Hollywood glitterati and steady flow of cinematic hype descends on the Toronto International Film Festival this week, but a dark cloud looms over the celebration as the battered movie industry faces crucial questions about its future.

Three years have passed since TIFF last held a fully in-person film festival and in that time the world of movie-going has undergone a seismic shift.

"There are more and more questions about the purpose of an in-person festival ... and whether that kind of pomp and circumstance, glitz and glamour, really has a place in this industry." Niazi said. After months of COVID-19 closures, audiences have returned to theatres in significant numbers, but not enough to reach levels before the pandemic.

"I think anyone that says film festivals are dead, they need to go to that screening and they need to feel the energy in that room. Because that's irreplaceable." Even the virtual screenings that won over new festivalgoers are largely fading to black. Only two dozen titles are available to rent at home after Sept. 13.
