Once again we\u2019ve arrived at that special time of year known as festival season. Today we kick off our coverage of one of the fall\u2019s major film events, the Toronto International Film Festival, which runs from September 8 to 18. Throughout this year\u2019s festival, we\u2019ll be on the ground, covering all the highlights (and lowlights) from this year\u2019s lineup, alongside our rotating crew of critics and special guests.\n\nFirst up, Film Comment Co-Deputy Editor Devika Girish welcomes critics and programmers Jordan Cronk, Inney Prakash, and Bedatri Choudhury to discuss Jafar Panahi\u2019s No Bears, Daniel Goldhaber\u2019s How to Blow Up a Pipeline, Joanna Hogg\u2019s The Eternal Daughter, the experimental Wavelengths shorts program, and more.\n\nStay tuned for more from the Tim Horton\u2013studded mean streets of Toronto!
