An absolute dream come true finally seeing the world’s biggest girl group, BLACKPINK live finally! We have been waiting forever, and after all the chatter about newly-christened Rogers Stadium in the news, seeing this concert was like two birds with one stone. At just under two hours, Blackpink filled the 50k-capacity venue as their Deadline Tour landed in Toronto for the first of two nights!
The Show highlighted the K-Pop queens’ concise repertoire of hits like How You Like That, Kill This Love, Forever Young, Ddu-Du Ddu-Du, and latest single Jump! Not only this, but also their own solo material with sets allotted to each member: Rosé, Lisa, Jennie, and Ji Soo.
Rosé praised how beautiful the new venue is, also thanking fans for getting their cardio in with a lengthy walk to the venue, norrh of the City. She also was seen backstage snacking on Tim Hortons before hitting the stage for her solo numbers!
A Vlog of highlights:
…and how bonkers is it that my friend Jenny and I ate at the same exact restaurant HUH GA NE, that Rosé and Lisa went to later that night. What are the odds?
Epic night!

Tomorrow’s TIFF Takeover is the Midnight Madness programme and the last announcement of the week. More Festival details will be announced in the coming weeks. The 50th edition of the Toronto International Film Festival, presented by Rogers, runs September 4–14, 2025.
TIFF today announces its 2025 Platform programme lineup, marking the tenth anniversary of the Festival’s auteur competitive section, which champions bold directorial vision and distinctive storytelling. Platform offers audiences a first glimpse at some of the most compelling cinematic voices on the rise. This year’s edition features 10 exceptional films representing 19 countries. The programme opens with the World Premiere of Steve, from Belgian director Tim Mielants (Small Things Like These, Peaky Blinders), starring Tracey Ullman and Academy Award–winner Cillian Murphy. While this marks Mielants’ first appearance at TIFF, this is his third collaboration with Murphy. The other nine films participating in the Platform competition are: Farnoosh Samadi’s Between Dreams and Hope, Orian Barki and Meriem Bennani’s Bouchra, György Pálfi’s Hen, Pauline Loquès’ Nino, Bretten Hannam’s Sk+te’kmujue’katik (At the Place of Ghosts), Milagros Mumenthaler’s The Currents, Yoon Ga-eun’s The World of Love, Valentyn Vasyanovych’s To The Victory!, and Kasia Adamik’s Winter of the Crow.
The Platform programme is curated by TIFF’s programming team under the direction of Robyn Citizen, Platform Lead and Director of Programming, Festival & Cinematheque. Platform spotlights 10 films from early- to mid-career filmmakers poised to break out on the world stage. Past Official Selections include acclaimed works such as Anthony Shim’s Riceboy Sleeps (TIFF ’22), Darius Marder’s Sound of Metal (TIFF ’19), Pietro Marcello’s Martin Eden (TIFF ’19), William Oldroyd’s Lady Macbeth (TIFF ’17), and Barry Jenkins’ Moonlight (TIFF ’16). All films in this programme are eligible for the Platform Award, which is selected by an international jury. The winning filmmaker will receive a $20,000 CAD cash prize. The Platform Award will be presented as part of the TIFF awards ceremony on the last day of the Festival on Sunday, September 14.
This year’s Jury Chair is Spanish film writer, editor, and director Carlos Marqués-Marcet, who won the 2024 Platform Award for They Will Be Dust. He is joined by Oscar-nominated actor, writer, composer, and director Marianne Jean-Baptiste, who was most recently at the Festival with Mike Leigh’s Hard Truths (TIFF ’24), and Québécois filmmaker Chloé Robichaud, whose acclaimed Sundance hit Two Women recently had a theatrical run at TIFF Lightbox, and who has attended TIFF previously for her films Days of Happiness (TIFF ’23), Boundaries (TIFF ’16), and her short film Delphine (TIFF ’19), among others. Previous jury members include: Atom Egoyan, Hur Jin-ho, Jane Schoenbrun, Claire Denis, Béla Tarr, Brian De Palma, Mira Nair, Riz Ahmed, Jia Zhang-Ke, Patricia Rozema, and Barry Jenkins.
Watch Robyn Citizen’s insights on this year’s Platform programme here:
2025 Platform programme (in alphabetical order):
Between Dreams and Hope | Farnoosh Samadi | Iran
World Premiere
Farnoosh Samadi, whose feature film 180° Rule (TIFF ’20) and short film Disappearance (TIFF ’17) both premiered at the Festival, returns with Between Dreams and Hope. In this bold queer love story, Azad (Fereshteh Hosseini), a trans man, and Nora (Sadaf Asgari) are two young lovers toggling between tradition and modernity in their society and family. Together, they travel to a remote Iranian village to face Azad’s estranged father and obtain documents that would permit the pair to live authentically.
Bouchra | Orian Barki & Meriem Bennani | Italy/Morocco/USA
World Premiere
Longtime collaborators and partners, visual artist Meriem Bennani and documentary filmmaker Orian Barki, known for their previous works Life on the CAPS (TIFF ’22) and 2 Lizards (TIFF ’22), bring their latest animated project, Bouchra, to the Festival, marking the first animated feature to premiere in Platform. In this film, 35-year-old Moroccan Coyote and filmmaker, Bouchra, lives in New York and chronicles the impact her queerness has on her relationship with her mother, Aïcha, in Casablanca. Cutting between the film that’s forming and real-life conversations between Bouchra and Aïcha (recreations of phone calls that took place between Bennani and her mother), Bouchra is a humorous and tender portrait of the love and pain that both sides have to understand in order to move forward.
Hen | György Pálfi | Germany/Greece/Hungary
World Premiere
György Pálfi’s Hen, an inventive live-action feature, chronicles a remarkable chicken as she escapes from her grisly fate in this unorthodox and bold story. Escaping from a chicken farm, she finds refuge in the courtyard of a crumbling restaurant. There, she discovers love, confronts the pecking order, and fights to protect her eggs from a greedy owner. Her droll yet touching quest for motherhood mirrors the messy compromises and silent struggles of human lives.
Nino | Pauline Loquès | France
International Premiere
With a breakout performance from TIFF ’17 Rising Star and Québécois actor Théodore Pellerin (whose previous TIFF credits include Never Steady, Never Still, Family First, and Genèse and the most recent, Solo), Pauline Loquès’ Nino follows its titular character (played by Pellerin) over three pivotal days. Nino faces a major health challenge, but first, his doctors have assigned him two vital tasks. These two missions lead the young man on a journey through Paris, compelling him to reconnect with the world — and himself.
Sk+te’kmujue’katik (At the Place of Ghosts) | Bretten Hannam | Canada/Belgium
World Premiere
From Indigenous, two-spirited filmmaker Bretten Hannam (Wildhood, TIFF ’21) comes Sk+te’kmujue’katik (At the Place of Ghosts), which follows siblings Mise’l and Antle who were close as children, but trauma from their upbringing has caused them to drift apart as adults. When they are both haunted by a malevolent spirit of bones and rot, the siblings are forced to reunite and venture deep into the forest to confront their trauma together.
Steve | Tim Mielants | Ireland/United Kingdom | Opening Film
World Premiere
Set in the mid-90s, Steve is a reimagining of Max Porter’s Sunday Times bestseller Shy. The film follows a pivotal day in the life of headteacher Steve (Academy Award winner Cillian Murphy) and his students at a last-chance reform school amidst a world that has forsaken them. As Steve fights to protect the school’s integrity and impending closure, we witness him grappling with his own mental health. In parallel to Steve’s struggles, we meet Shy (Jay Lycurgo), a troubled teen caught between his past and what lies ahead as he tries to reconcile his inner fragility with his impulse for self-destruction and violence.
The Currents | Milagros Mumenthaler | Switzerland/Argentina
World Premiere
Known for her evocative storytelling, filmmaker Milagros Mumenthaler, whose acclaimed film Abrir puertas y ventanas (Back to Stay) premiered at TIFF ’11, unveils her latest drama, The Currents. The enigmatic film follows Lina on a business trip to Geneva. She is driven by an impulse that puts her life in danger. On her return to Buenos Aires, Lina keeps what happened hidden, but the past which she escaped from emerges and puts her present in abyss.
The World of Love | Yoon Ga-eun | South Korea
World Premiere
Yoon Ga-eun’s third feature, The World of Love, brings together Seo Su-bin in her debut role with Chang Hyae-jin (Parasite, Crash Landing on You). The film introduces us to Jooin (Seo Su-bin), an enigmatic 17-year-old high school student who is curious about and baffled by love. One day, some words she says in a fit of anger cause a major scene. Afterwards, she receives anonymous notes questioning her behaviour, and cracks begin to appear in her formerly peaceful world. “Jooin, who is the real you?”
To The Victory! | Valentyn Vasyanovych | Ukraine/Lithuania
World Premiere
The latest from multi-talented filmmaker Valentyn Vasyanovych, who also stars as the lead character in To The Victory! Ukraine, in the near future. The war has ended. A film director is out of work, out of luck, and out of touch with his family abroad. While his wife and daughter built a new life in Vienna, he stays behind — confused, restless, and convinced that things will get better. Eventually. Probably. Maybe.
Winter of the Crow | Kasia Adamik | Poland/Luxembourg/United Kingdom
World Premiere
Winter of the Crow, stars Lesley Manville, Zofia Wichłacz, and Tom Burke and is based on a short story by Nobel Prize–winning author Olga Tokarczuk. Set during the onset of Poland’s Martial Law era, the country is shut down just as British psychiatry professor Dr. Joan Andrews (Manville) arrives as a guest lecturer in Warsaw. Taxis have been replaced by tanks; citizens are treated like criminals. As chaos engulfs the city, Joan witnesses a brutal murder by the secret police. In mortal danger and trapped as Poland is closed down, Joan becomes a hunted fugitive running for her life.

More than 25 years after it first stomped across our TV screens, the iconic Walking with Dinosaurs is being reimagined in BBC’s latest landmark series. Premiering Tuesday, August 26 at 9 p.m. ET/PT on BBC Earth in Canada, Walking with Dinosaurs (6×60’ HD) will take viewers on a unique journey back through time, revealing the extraordinary life stories of these long-lost giants. Each episode in the six-part series will bring to life the dramatic story of an individual dinosaur whose remains are being unearthed by world-leading dinosaur experts, including Alberta-based paleontologists Emily Bamforth and Mark Powers. From the mountainous forests in Alberta to the red rock canyons of Utah, audiences will meet a range of dinosaur species in an array of prehistoric landscapes. Walking with Dinosaurs premieres Tuesday, August 26 at 9 p.m. ET/PT on BBC Earth in Canada. BBC Earth is also available via Prime Video Channels, and viewers can stream Walking with Dinosaurs beginning August 27, with new episodes uploaded weekly.
Thanks to cutting-edge science, experts can work out how these prehistoric creatures lived, hunted, fought and died more accurately than ever before. As the dinosaurs’ bones emerge from the ground, Walking with Dinosaurs brings these prehistoric stories to life with state-of-the-art visual effects – making each episode a gripping dinosaur drama based on the very latest evidence.
The Canadian Palaeontologists digging the Pipestone Creek bonebed discover from 100 to 300 bones per year, but it had been almost two decades since a skull was found. Shortly after filming for the Walking With Dinosaurs episode was completed, palaeontologists discovered a massive Pachyrhinosaurus skull in Northern Alberta near Grande Prairie. The biggest skull discovered in Pipestone Creek to date, it was nicknamed “Big Sam” after a member of the BBC Studios team.
Walking with Dinosaurs was commissioned for BBC One and BBC iPlayer by Jack Bootle, Head of Commissioning, Specialist Factual. Bill Gardner is Editorial Consultant for PBS. Diana El-Osta is the Executive in Charge for PBS. It is a BBC Studios Science Unit Production co-produced with ZDF and France Télévisions for BBC and PBS. The Executive Producers are Andrew Cohen and Helen Thomas; the Showrunner is Kirsty Wilson; the Producer/Directors are Stephen Cooter; Tom Hewitson and Owen Gower; and the Line Producers are Max Brunold and Libby Hand. The BBC Commissioning Editor is Tom Coveney. BBC Studios is handling global sales, in addition to negotiating the co-production deals with PBS, ZDF, and France Télévisions.
Episode Descriptions:
Episode 1 – The Orphan (August 26 at 9 p.m. ET/PT)
In Laramidia, a lush, subtropical landscape 66 million years ago, we meet Clover, an orphaned baby Triceratops. Alone and vulnerable without a herd for protection, she’s stalked by the fearsome Tyrannosaurus rex.
Today, palaeontologists in Montana are uncovering her fossils, allowing us to imagine Clover’s life and the dangers she faced. Through stunning VFX we recreate her dangerous encounters and bring her fight for survival vividly to life.
Episode 2 – The River Dragon (September 2 at 9 p.m. ET/PT)
North Africa, 100 million years ago. A Spinosaurus father must embark on a dangerous voyage to feed his babies. To reach the destination, he must lead his young family across one of the deadliest environments in earth’s history: a land crawling with ferocious predators. At the end of their journey, an extraordinary feast awaits – if he can run the gauntlet without his babies becoming someone else’s meal.
Episode 3 – The Band of Brothers (September 9 at 9 p.m. ET/PT)
Utah, 130 million years ago. A band of armoured dinosaurs battle to reach adulthood, pursued by some of the most formidable predators that have ever lived: utahraptors. It’s a deadly game of cat and mouse that pits heavy armour against vicious claws and lethal cunning; a life-and-death struggle that builds to a final showdown amongst the flames of a burning forest.
Episode 4 – The Pack (September 16 at 9 p.m. ET/PT)
Seventy-one million years ago lived a teenage Albertosaurus – a faster, nimbler relative of T. rex. She had to earn her place in a deadly, ferocious pack or risk starvation.
Today, palaeontologists in western Canada are unearthing her remains, allowing us to imagine her story. Based on real-world evidence, stunning VFX recreate her encounters, from hunting pterosaurs to fighting the dominant matriarch and battling for survival in the brutal late Cretaceous world.
Episode 5 – The Journey North (September 23 at 9 p.m. ET/PT)
Based on an unprecedented discovery in Alberta, Canada, this episode tells the epic tale of a Pachyrhinosaurus herd, one of the largest dinosaur groups that ever lived, through the eyes of its young member Albie.
Episode 6 – Island of Giants (September 30 at 9 p.m. ET/PT)
The tale of one of the largest dinosaurs ever to walk the earth, a colossal, long-necked Lusotitan. Living 150 million years ago on an island known as the Iberian Mesta, now in Portugal, this 25-metre-long titan dwarfs every other dinosaur in the region. Yet its intimidating size is only part of the story. The ultimate goal of the male of the species is to win over a female and secure his legacy. It’s a quest that sees him embark on an epic journey as he risks his life for love.

SYNOPSIS
FATHER MOTHER SISTER BROTHER is a feature film, though carefully constructed in the form of a triptych. The three stories all concern the relationships between adult children, their somewhat distant parent (or parents), and each other. Each of the three chapters takes place in the present, and each in a different country.
FATHER is set in the Northeast US, MOTHER in Dublin, Ireland, and SISTER BROTHER in Paris, France. The film is a series of character studies, quiet, observational and non-judgmental –a comedy, but interwoven with threads of melancholy
DIRECTOR STATEMENT
FATHER MOTHER SISTER BROTHER is a kind of anti-action film, its subtle and quiet style carefully constructed to allow small details to accumulate – almost like flowers being carefully placed in three delicate arrangements. Collaborations with the masterful cinematographers Frederick Elmes and Yorick Le Saux, the brilliant editor Affonso Gonçalves and other frequent collaborators elevate what started as words on a page into a form of pure cinema.
