Guillermo del Toro will host a lecture series on Canadian horror movies at TIFF Lightbox this summer. The showcase, titled 'From Rabid to Skinamarink: Canadian Movie Madness,' runs from July 9 to 13.
Del Toro will dissect iconic genre films like David Cronenberg's 'Rabid' and Vincenzo Natali's 'Cube.' The director will analyze the visual and emotional impacts of Bruce McDonald's 'Pontypool' and Kyle Edward Ball's 'Skinamarink.'
Del Toro has strong ties to Toronto, where many of his films have been produced. He has previously hosted lecture series at TIFF Lightbox on Mexican cinema and film noir. This series highlights his ongoing commitment to film education and appreciation.
