TIFF 2024: Awards, Adaptation, and Oddities | Durham News

From Durham News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now! The Daily News Now!

TIFF returns with a powerhouse lineup as filmmaker Curry Barker and star Inde Navarrette revisit their award-hopeful “Obsession,” now primed for best picture and actress nods — and opening doors for Navarrette’s own projects. Meanwhile, festivals brace for a new era: studios skip the festival circuit for adult films, opting for direct releases to dodge unpredictable reviews. In response, streaming giants like Netflix and Apple are stepping in, while Warner Bros. launches a specialty label. Standout film “Being Heumann” dazzles with authentic disability casting and pivotal historical storytelling. And kicking off the fest? The bizarrely charming taxidermy musical “Stuffed,” starring Jodie Comer and Harry Melling, blending macabre whimsy with a surprisingly tender love story.
