The first weekend offers the public a meeting with the actor Timothy Spall, known for his roles in the most important British films of the last 30 years, as well as in the Harry Potter series. He will receive the Lifetime Achievement Award at the TIFF Opening Gala in Unirii Square.
The moment will be followed by the screening of the comedy Northern Comfort (directed by Hafsteinn Gunnar Sigurđsson).
On Saturday, June 10, cinema professionals, as well as the public, are waited for a meeting with Spall, which will take place at the Radisson Blu Hotel from 10:30. He will have a conversation about his career with Mihai Chirilov, TIFF Artistic Director. Entry is free, subject to spots availability.
"Saturday evening, the Swedish artist Jay-Jay Johanson will perform at Bontida. The show will be followed by the screening of the documentary Ce masinarie fantastica (And the King Said What a Fantastic Machine, dir. Axel Danielson & Maximilien Van Aertryck).
