TIFF's Mavericks lineup includes notable newsmakers

The Toronto International Film Festival this year presents a Mavericks lineup of notable newsmakers, which invites audiences to engage in discussions with some of the film industry’s greatest leaders. “Daring filmmakers, philanthropic trailblazers, political activists and provocative storytellers fill the diverse slate of talent in this year’s programme,” says Thom Powers, Toronto International Film Festival Mavericks Programmer. “The Festival’s Mavericks sessions offer audiences a rare experience into the minds of these creative leaders and a fascinating glimpse into their remarkable stories.”

This year’s lineup includes appearances by David Geffen, Javier Bardem, Johnny Depp, Natalie Maines, Danny Glover, and the team behind Shit Girls Say – Graydon Sheppard and Kyle Humphrey. Jackie Chan will also make an appearance to discuss his very successful career and give a sneak preview of his new film Chinese Zodiac.

The Mavericks programme will also showcase the world premiere of American Masters Inventing David Geffen, Casting By and The Pervert’s Guide to Ideology, as well as the North American premiere of Sons of the Clouds: The Last Colony and the Canadian premiere of West of Memphis. ~Isabelle Khoo
