Strikes Threaten Hollywood Glamour at Toronto Film Festival
- Actors and writers strikes have reduced the star power at TIFF, with few celebrities doing promotion.
- Notable films still premiering include Miyazaki's final film "The Boy and the Heron" and A24's comedy "Dicks: The Musical."
- Smaller and independent films may benefit from the lack of big studio productions.
- TIFF aims to showcase diverse films and support local Canadian directors amid the labor disputes.
- Despite the strikes, TIFF continues its tradition of launching Oscar contenders and brokering distribution deals.
