With every festival comes a new round of roundtables, so if you couldn’t make it to this year’s Toronto International Film Festival, you can still listen to this week’s episode of the podcast and start planning ahead for when the lineup comes to a theater or streaming service near you. And luckily, the talking points of this year’s TIFF are varied: the highly anticipated return of Lucrecia Martel; adventurous new films from familiar faces like Alexander Payne and Darren Aronofsky; and mesmerizing documentary work from Wang Bing, Véréna Paravel and Lucien Castaing-Taylor. Film Comment Digital Producer Violet Lucca discusses and debates the selection with a panel of FC contributors, including Eric Hynes, associate curator of film at the Museum of the Moving Image; Aliza Ma, head of programming at Metrograph; Adam Nayman, Cinema Scope contributor; Nick Pinkerton, member of the New York Film Critics Circle; and Michael Koresky, Director of Editorial and Creative Strategy at the Film Society of Lincoln Center.
