Angelina Jolie will receive the TIFF Tribute Award in Impact Media, the Toronto film festival announced on Tuesday. Presented by Anne-Marie Canning, the prize honors “leadership in creating a union between social impact and cinema,” according to the festival.
Jolie, whose new film “Without Blood” will have its world premiere Sept. 8 at TIFF, will be honored the same day, alongside Amy Adams, Cate Blanchett, Durga Chew-Bose, David Cronenberg, Clément Ducol and Camille Dalmais, Jharrel Jerome, Mike Leigh and Zhao Tao. Sandra Oh will serve as the inaugural Honorary Chair of the fundraising gala. (Proceeds will go towards TIFF’s Every Story Fund, which “champions diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging in film.”)
