The Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) says it has reached a resolution with the filmmaker of a Canadian documentary chronicling rescue efforts during the Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas attack on Israel, reversing an earlier decision to pull the film and confirming it will be screened at this year’s festival.
“We have worked together to find a resolution to satisfy important safety, legal, and programming concerns,” Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) CEO Cameron Bailey and Filmmaker Barry Avrich said in an Aug. 14 joint statement.
