SHARE HER JOURNEY – Celebrating Female Directors at TIFF 2021
by Aqleema Anwar
This year’s Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) comes very close but does not beat last year’s record of almost 46% of the films screened having been directed by women. However, considering only 50 feature films and 5 short films (the lowest in the festival’s 46-year history) were showcased at TIFF 2020, the submission of 72 female-directed films this year should still be applauded.
