Toronto Film Festival Dailies

Toronto – The Toronto International Film Festival^® announced its international juries for 2013. For the 22nd consecutive year, the Festival welcomes a FIPRESCI jury, comprised of six members from the International Federation of Film Critics. The Festival also announced that for the second consecutive year it will host a NETPAC jury, made up of three members of the Network for the Promotion of Asian Cinema.

The FIPRESCI jury will award the Prize of the International Critics for the Special Presentations and the Discovery programmes. Last year’s Special Presentations Prize went to Francois Ozon’s Dans la maison (In the House), and the Discovery Prize was awarded to Mikael Marcimain’s Call Girl. The NETPAC Award for World or International Asian Film Premiere was presented in 2012 to Sion Sono’s The Land of Hope.
