TIFF 2023: What films are scheduled to screen this weekend at the Toronto International Film Festival?

It's the final weekend of the Toronto International Film Festival, with the awards ceremony set to take place on Sunday when the festival finally finishes for its 2023 season. Meaning if you're at the festival, it's your last chance to check out some of the programming that remains on offer.

That includes a screening of Warwick Thornton's film, 'The New Boy,' which premiered as part of the Cannes Film Festival earlier this year and has been celebrated for its performances by Cate Blanchett and young actor Aswan Reid. Set in 1940s Australia, The New Boy is the story of a nine-year-old Aboriginal orphan boy (Reid) who arrives in the dead of night at a remote monastery, run by a renegade nun (Blanchett), where his presence disturbs the delicately balanced world in this story of spiritual struggle and the cost of survival

Though we’re unfortunately not on hand to be amongst the throng of cinema lovers (we at NationalWorld are patiently awaiting the BFI London Film Festival,) the ever-loving cinephiles that we are have taken a look at the pubic screenings on show today at TIFF 23, to make your festival selections a lot easier.

Will you be checking out the latest K-Film set to be the talk of the festival circuit this year, 'Concrete Utopia' by Um Tae-hwa?
