TOronto International FIlm Festival
Good Measure Set to Showcase Two Films at TIFF 2023
The Toronto International Film Festival is always a busy time for Canadian filmmakers, but this year’s fortnight is set to be particularly exciting for Good Measure Productions! We’re excited to announce that we’re headed to TIFF 2023 with two different and important films.
First up is the visually stunning short film METEOR, directed by Atefeh Khademolreza and produced by our founder Sholeh Alemi Fabbri alongside Samuel Kiehoon Lee. The film will have its world premiere as part of Short Cuts Programme 1 on Thursday, September 7–the Opening Night of the festival. The beautifully animated documentary explores the mysterious death of Amin, a gay man living in oppressive Iran, and highlights the deadly consequences faced by individuals living under severe societal constraints while echoing the recent ‘Women, Life, Freedom’ revolution. For more on the film and to get tickets to either public screening, head to TIFF.NET.
In addition to METEOR’s debut, Good Measure will be one of 40 production teams participating in the Ontario Creates International Financing Forum (IFF) as part of the TIFF 2023 Industry Conference. Sholeh will be there alongside producer Heather Haldane, presenting our feature film ECLIPSE to potential financiers and funders. The fantasy-realism film, co-written by Khademolreza and Lee, follows seven teenagers trapped in their grandmother’s home as war breaks out in Iran. You can find the full list of this year’s IFF participants here.
