The Toronto International Film Festival launches with a Robbie Robertson documentary TIFF19
TORONTO - The Toronto International Film Festival opened on a decidedly Canadian note on Thursday with a documentary about influential rockers The Band kicking off 10 days of movies vying for attention in the upcoming Hollywood awards season.
“We were of a generation where music was the voice of that generation,” Robertson told reporters in Toronto on Thursday. “Everybody gathered around that voice. And so you felt a responsibility to talk about something, to tell a story about something that had a deeper meaning to it.” “You don’t go out and discover who you are, you sort of invent who you are and that’s what Robbie Robertson’s life experience really speaks to.”
The Toronto festival is known for bringing early attention to movies that go on to win top awards, including past Oscar best picture winners “Green Book,” “12 Years a Slave,” and “Slumdog Millionaire.”
