Dedicated to first-time or sophomore feature film directors, the TIFF 2020 Official Competition features 12 provocative stories and just as many original approaches competing for the Transilvania Trophy. Eight of them are feature film debuts for directors who are just starting out or have already made a name for themselves as series or documentary film directors. TIFF audiences will have the chance to see the entire selection in Cluj-Napoca between July 31 - August 9.
“As has been the case every year, this year’s competition consists of surprising, daring, and cutting-edge stories in diverse genres, from black comedy through thriller to erotic drama and experimental film, all revolving around family dynamics and the inherent crisis that come along with it,” said TIFF Artistic Director Mihai Chirilov.
