Key programming announcements
The first programming announcements were released on June 18, 2024,[2] with further announcements expected in July. The full festival schedule is set to be released on August 13, 2024.[2]
Awards
The TIFF Tribute Awards recipients will include David Cronenberg as recipient of the Norman Jewison Award, and Amy Adams as a recipient of the performer award.[3] Although Cronenberg's new film The Shrouds, which premiered at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival, was not one of the first six films announced on June 18, his status as a Tribute Awards recipient is indicative of its inclusion in a followup announcement, as the Tribute Awards recipients are normally selected from among people connected to films screening in the program.[4]
