LevelK at Toronto IFF

Dear Friends,

We have some exciting titles to share with you for our TIFF line-up.

In the TIFF discovery section our Danish drama AS IN HEAVEN will have its world premiere. AS IN HEAVEN takes place on a farm in the late 1800s where an intense waiting begins when 14-year-old Lise's mother goes into a complicated labour, and Lise must prepare herself for a night that may change her life forever.

The TIFF Midnight Madness section will screen our Iranian drama ZALAVA, which premiered at Venice Critics' Week. ZALAVA is sat in 1978, where the inhabitants of a small village in Iran called Zalava claim there is a demon among them. Massoud, a young gendarmerie sergeant, who investigates this claim encounters an exorcist attempting to rid the village of the demon. When he arrests the exorcist on charges of fraud, the villagers fear and anger escalates.
