Director Lee Chang-dong's new film, "Possible Love," has been officially invited to the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF).
Festival organizers said Monday that the film will screen in the Special Presentations section of the 51st edition of TIFF, which opens in Canada on Sep. 10.
The event, North America’s largest film festival, is widely recognized as among the world's leading film events alongside Venice, Cannes and Berlin. The Special Presentations section introduces new works by world-renowned actors and directors, and previously featured Bong Joon-ho’s "Parasite" (2019) and Park Chan-wook’s "Decision to Leave" (2022).
TIFF CEO Cameron Bailey praised the film, calling "Possible Love" a powerful work that deeply explores marital relationships, class and cinema itself. While the festival operates without a traditional competition section, its moviegoer-voted People’s Choice Award is a highly watched indicator of prospective Academy Award success.
