The 8th Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) took place in Toronto, Ontario, Canada between September 9 and September 17, 1983. This year, the festival introduced Contemporary World Cinema programme.[1] The festival also shone light on Paul Verhoeven's work.[2] The festival also held a retrospective in honor of David Cronenberg, first time for a Toronto-reared director. The censor board insisted that the censored version of Cronenberg's film The Brood, approved in 1979 be used.[3]
The Big Chill by Lawrence Kasdan was selected as the opening film. It won the People's Choice Award at the festival,[4] and later got nominated for Academy Awards, BAFTAs and the Golden Globes.[5]
