TIFF 24 #3: Sports movies for people who don't like sports movies

Seventh Row Podcast

In this episode of the TIFF 2024 season, Alex discusses three films from around the world that take place within the world of sports but aren't really about sports.

Alex finds common ground in how the films are shot and tell stories, often through gestures and blocking rather than dialogue.

These films are:

• Leonardo van Dijl’s Julie Keeps Quiet – Belgium/Sweden (sales title)
• Frida Kempff's The Swedish Torpedo - World Premiere - Sweden (sales title)
• Hiroshi Okuyama’s My Sunshine - Japan (Film Movement will distribute)

About the TIFF 2024 season:

In the TIFF 2024 season, Editor-in-Chief Alex Heeney will discuss some of the best under-the-radar gems at the 2024 Toronto International Film Festival through themed episodes.

This is for you if:

• You're attending TIFF and looking for recommendations;
• You're looking ahead to your local film festival for must-see titles; and/or
• You're interested in how filmmakers from around the world explore similar topics/genres, even if you're not sure if you'll ever see the films.
