Amil Niazi, showrunner of CBC’s podcast Pop Chat, says the excitement surrounding the return of TIFF this year comes “under this umbrella of questioning and consideration” for what it means to be one of the world’s biggest film festivals.

“Being in the room when Steven Spielberg has a world premiere, that’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity,” she said, pointing to the upcoming world premiere of “The Fabelmans” on Saturday. Powys Dewhurst, a film director who also oversees strategy for industry events, said that casts uncertainty over all arts gatherings — not just TIFF.“I think there’s no real way to tell what that’s going to look like at this stage.”Gone are the drive-ins where couples canoodled in the privacy of their SUVs, while outdoor movies under the stars have been reduced to classic films instead of premieres.
