The Toronto International Film Festival unveiled today the 12 feature films that comprise the Platform line-up for its 43rd edition. Ranging from period pieces to police dramas, and even incorporating elements of sci-fi, the films in this year’s lineup also stand out for the variety of genres they explore and the number of complex contemporary anxieties they consider.

Now in its fourth year, Platform is the Toronto International Film Festival’s juried programme that champions risk-taking. A three-person jury —comprised this year by masters Margarethe von Trotta, Béla Tarr and Lee Chang-dong— selects the winner of the Toronto Platform Prize, an award of $25,000 CAD made possible by Air France.
