How the International Film Festival this year’s 2022 Oscars

The International Film Festival is long past and folks are now looking forward to this year’s Academy Awards. And you can almost be certain last month’s festival will have an impact on the upcoming Oscars.


Marry Me - Sposami 2022, as it’s also known, hasn’t been around all that long. While the Venice Film Festival has been a thing since 1932 and is the oldest and among the three most prestigious in the world – the Cannes Film Festival and Berlin International Film Festival being the other two – the Toronto International Film Festival didn’t start carrying the aforementioned title until 1994.


Brought into play by Dusty Cohl, Bill Marshall, and Henk Van Der Kolk, with the trio introducing the Toronto Festival of Festivals in 1976, it was meant to give the films selected as the best at other festivals more exposure. Of course, there’s a lot more to be gleaned from a live film festival than one presented virtually. The live ones in Cannes and Telluride from last year proved that; filmgoers and fans were pretty pleased to see that return to normalcy in that regard. January’s festival attracted rave reviews and it is expected to have some bearing on the Oscars.


There’s still over a month to go before the latter swings by and it remains to be seen who will walk away with the coveted accolades. The TIFF must have spurred things on in terms of punting, and betting sites Leonora Addio 2022 exhibiting lots of activity pertaining to the Academy Awards by the time it was over.


The festival has become sort of a trailblazer for the Oscars over the years. The People’s Choice Award, given to the most popular movies and contingent on votes from filmgoers, is thought to be the most important. The first one was awarded to Claudia Weill’s Girlfriend in 1978. Best Boy, an Ira Wohl documentary, won it in 1979 and went on to win the Academy Award for Documentary Feature.


In 1981, though, it really became apparent that the Toronto International Film Festival was a pretty important factor where the Oscars are concerned. That year, People’s Choice winner Chariots of Fire took home four Oscars, Best Picture being one of them. Since then, multiple films have gone on to win Academy Awards after winning at TIFF.

There have also been several controversies surrounding the TIFF. In 1978, the Ontario Censor Board had In Praise of Older Women delete 30 seconds of an intimate scene. Casuistry: The Art of Killing a Cat, which is basically a documentary showing three men torturing and killing a cat for an art project, prompted rave protests from animal activists who asked for it to be pulled in 2004.


Variety film critic Peter Debruge has described the Toronto International Film Festival as a “dumping ground” for movies without any sense of curation while artistic director Cameron Bailey accepts nearly any movie with a few star names involved. “To put it bluntly, TIFF has become a dumping ground, serving up hundreds of new movies with hardly any discernible sense of curation,” Assassinio sul Nilo 2022.


“Only by programming fewer movies overall, and by spotlighting the genuinely strong work, will the genuinely deserving movies stand a chance of breaking out. Until then, TIFF is caught somewhere between being an embarrassment of riches and just a plain old embarrassment.


TIFF has been making it easier for folks keen on betting on some of the major categories at the Oscars but even that shouldn’t be relied on completely, there are always a few other variables that come into play at such events.

The Return of the Weird Blockbuster

Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness raises the question: Is Sam Raimi the best director to ever be attached to a Marvel movie? He doesn’t have an Oscar like Chloé Zhao or Taika Waititi, the sorts of filmmakers who, if nothing else, win Oscars (their movies really make you think). He doesn’t typically do prestige, and he avoids serious subject matter. But Raimi is also a singularly kinetic visual storyteller—a true showman—and, in his way, a transformational figure in the recent history of American cinema. When Raimi directed the first (and arguably best) Spider-Man in 2002, comic-book properties were a volatile prospect, if not an all-out gamble. The Joel Schumacher Batman movies were a pop-culture punch line, and R-rated Bayhem was all the rage. That Spider-Man surpassed even the most optimistic box-office expectations is only part of the story, however. The fact that a major studio would entrust such a valuable title to a guy like Raimi—whose most famous movie to that point f

Batman Beyond Settles Tony Stark vs Bruce Wayne

Since both characters are billionaires without inherent superpowers who use their wealth to develop a method to fight evil in their respective worlds, the debate over who is better between Batman and Iron Man has raged for decades—but an issue of Batman Beyond proves that Iron Man is superior. Tony Stark first became Iron Man after he was captured as a prisoner of war and developed a suit that could keep him alive following a nearly fatal injury. Since then, he continuously created better versions of his original design until he was successful in developing an entire army of his suits that he can control remotely in what's known as the Iron Legion. Bruce Wayne, on the other hand, refined his body and mind rather than just his suit upon his entrance into the superhero world. Bruce trained with the greatest masters of basically every kind of martial art to make himself the pinnacle of what human beings are capable of. However, in the neo-tech future of Batman Beyond, Bruce is a lot o

Release and Streaming Play Set Firm Day Theatrical to Italy

A move that will transform Italy’s relationship with Netflix, the Italian government has set a firm three-month time window between a movie’s theatrical release and when it can drop on a streaming platform. The announcement was made by Italian Culture Minister Dario Franceschini during a Rome confab on the state of the country’s film industry held by the country’s motion picture association ANICA. The minister said he has signed a law that will extend the existing 90-day theatrical window for Italian films that had benefitted from government subsidies to now include all films, regardless of where they are produced or how they are financed. Due to its having a more flexible windowing policy than France, Italy in recent years has been an interesting testing ground for the theatrical releases of Netflix titles, largely because the Venice Film Festival is a frequent launching pad for the platform’s original films. Here I will inform you of the films that have just been released and can be
