WOLF QA, TIFF 2021
The team behind WOLF in conversation with TIFF in advance of its premiere at the 2021 Toronto International Film Festival. In Nathalie Biancheris sophomore feature, George MacKays wolf encounters LilyRose Depps wildcat in a radical behavioural reform institute. The 46th Toronto International Film Festival runs September 9 to 18, 2021. For more, visit Jacob (George MacKay) has species dysphoria and believes he is a wolf trapped inside the body of a teenager. He is sent to the zoo, a clinic specializing in the condition, operated under the watchful eye of Dr. Mann (Paddy Considine). Nicknamed the zookeeper, the controversial and cruel practitioner who could make Narcissus himself blush enacts extreme curative therapies, expecting nothing short of toadying behaviour and swift reform from his pet subjects. As if through kismet, Jacob is mysteriously drawn to a longterm patient (LilyRose Depp, also at the Festival in Silent Night) who believes herself to be a wildcat.
