The “In Conversation With…” series is already dropping some serious knowledge bombs. Imagine Ryan Reynolds sharing heartfelt anecdotes about the legendary John Candy, Dwayne Johnson keeping it incredibly real, and Tessa Thompson and Nia DaCosta diving deep into Black vision and creativity. Even artistic heavyweights like Park Chan-wook are in the mix, sharing insights that have everyone talking. The star power is undeniable, with names like Angelina Jolie, Idris Elba, Keanu Reeves, Natalie Portman, and Eugene Levy gracing the city. A particular point of pride is the spotlight on Canadian Black creators, whose voices are resonating both in front of and behind the camera, proving that our stories are essential and deserve to be told. We’re especially excited to cover the glory of TIFF’s star on Canada’s Walk of Fame, a true legacy moment that celebrates our culture’s contributions.
And let’s talk about that star power! From dazzling A-list sightings to viral fashion moments that set trends and that undeniable king-and-queen energy on the red carpet, TIFF 50 is serving it all. We’re also keeping a close eye on the standout debuts from Black and Canadian filmmakers, whose work is already generating significant buzz and anticipation.

At BlkCosmo, we’re all about this powerful intersection of glamour and authenticity, demonstrating to the world that Canadian film, and Black creativity in particular, are absolutely owning the spotlight. This is more than just a film festival; it’s a testament to the growing influence and undeniable brilliance within our communities. We’re tuning in, celebrating every breakthrough and every bold Black moment that is pushing culture forward, and we can’t wait to see who makes TIFF’s 50th truly unforgettable.
