Steven Spielberg’s first-ever appearance at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF), with the World Premiere of his new film, The Fabelmans, will take place this September at the 47th edition of TIFF.
A coming-of-age film, The Fabelmans relates the story of a deeply personal portrait of 20th Century American childhood, as well as a young man’s discovery of a shattering family secret.
The film also explores the power of movies to help us see the truth about each other and ourselves.
The film’s ensemble cast includes four-time Academy Award® nominee Michelle Williams (Manchester by the Sea, My Week with Marilyn); Paul Dano (The Batman, There Will Be Blood); Seth Rogen (Steve Jobs, An American Pickle); Gabriel LaBelle (The Predator, American Gigolo series); Oscar® nominee Jeannie Berlin (The Heartbreak Kid, Inherent Vice); Julia Butters (Once Upon a Time … in Hollywood, 13 Hours); Robin Bartlett (Moonstruck, Lean on Me); Keeley Karsten (Hunters, Evil Lives Here) and Academy Award® nominee Judd Hirsch (Uncut Gems, Ordinary People).
The Fabelmans is inspired by Spielberg’s own childhood and written by Spielberg and Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Tony Kushner (Angels in America, Caroline, or Change), who has earned Oscar nominations for his screenplays for Spielberg’s Lincoln and Munich. The film is produced by three-time Oscar® nominee Kristie Macosko Krieger (West Side Story, The Post), Spielberg, and Kushner.
