#TIFF23: DAY SEVEN SIGHTINGS – AVA DUVERNAY, SALMA HAYEK PINAULT, CHLOE DOMONT, VIGGO MORTENSEN
The finish line is in sight for TIFF ’23 but we’re still out and about! We spotted Ava DuVernay doing the rounds earlier! The history-making Oscar-nominated BAFTA and Primetime Emmy winner looked stunning earlier and was so lovely to stop for a snap! Her film ORIGIN was a late add to the lineup at TIFF ’23.
Shortly after, we saw Oscar-nominated Actress Salma Hayek Pinault arriving to her Red Carpet for SABOR DE LA NAVIDAD. In a rush to get to her interviews, she didn’ stop at the barricade for her fans. She serves as Executive Producer for the Film.
Also, a huge joy witnessing Chloe Domont‘s feature directorial debut FAIR PLAY. This is definitely one of the best things I’ve seen so far at TIFF ‘23. Alden Ehrenreich and Phoebe Dynevor play a couple who after getting engaged, live through a power struggle when one of them gets promoted at work. So wonderful seeing Domont at the Roy Thomson Hall Premiere tonight.
Please seeing Viggo Mortensen still here for THE DEAD DON’T HURT.
And last but not least, our friends at Elevation Pictures celebrated their 10th Birthday and it was a bustling party at their building on Richmond Street. They had a whopping 14 films at the Festival! Several noticables, including Stranger Things’ Finn Wolfhard were there.

It’s hard to believe the end is near of TIFF ’22 and that kicked-off a week ago already! We had some big stars in the City tonight including celebrated Thespian Brian Cox who is experiencing a career resurgence with his outstanding work as Logan Roy in HBO‘s Succession. Cox is here for The Prisoner’s Daughter, starring alongside Kate Beckinsale. Catherine Hardwicke directs this Drama about a father looking to reconnect with his daughter, though his violent past comes back to haunt them.
