TIFF - Russians At War Documentary Sparks Controversy
A person leaves Scotiabank Theatre while protesters stand outside because of the documentary "Russians at War" playing at the Toronto International Film Festival, in Toronto, ON, Canada on Tuesday September 10, 2024. Despite outcry from Ukrainian officials, TIFF's press screening of Russians at War, a documentary purported to take viewers "beyond the headlines to join Russian soldiers in Ukraine" , took place today at Scotiabank Theatre. The film comes from Moscow-born and Toronto-educated director Anastasia Trofimova, and is getting its North American premiere during the festival. With several more public screenings scheduled this week, protestors congregated outside the Richmond Street theatre today with Ukrainian flags and handmade signs, while chants of "Shame on TIFF" could be heard from the queues.
