- The team behind THE FABELMANS in conversation with TIFF in advance of its premiere at the 2022 Toronto International Film Festival. Steven Spielberg’s most personal film yet is based on the master director’s childhood passion for moviemaking, and the family dynamics that found their way into his work.
The 47th Toronto International Film Festival runs September 8 to 18, 2022. For more, visit tiff.net.
Steven Spielberg comes to the Festival for the first time with his most personal film yet. The Fabelmans finds the director reflecting on the experiences that made him the filmmaker we know and love, in a story based on his childhood in Arizona. Gabriel LaBelle gives a breakout performance as the teenage Sammy Fabelman, always desperate for a new piece of gear so he can make ever-bigger movies with his friends. Michelle Williams is the heart of the story as Sammy’s encouraging mother, a skilled pianist. She brings life to their household, a fact Mr. Fabelman (Paul Dano), a computer engineer, finds as enchanting as he does discombobulating. Their family is rounded out by his loveable co-worker Benny (Seth Rogen), who becomes an uncle to Sammy and his sisters, always along for the ride with the Fabelmans. This unique combination of parental figures eventually becomes a source of tension with Sammy at the centre, and that seeps into his creative work. Instead of chasing sharks or running from giant boulders, Spielberg has Sammy navigating the interpersonal landmines of home and school life, in what may be the most emotionally expansive film of his career. Starting with gunslingers and war stories, the way any Boy Scout in the late 1950s might, Sammy/Spielberg shows us not only what sparked Spielberg’s love for cinema, but also how empathy and human relationships have sneaked their way into the work of this master filmmaker.

The last time a Spielberg movie won Best Picture at the Academy Awards was 30 years ago when Schindler's List won in 1994. IT'S ABOUT TIME to add another movie of one of the best directors of all time to that list of Best Picture winners
Hmmm... Either I'm much older than I think or you did the math wrong. I'm 30, I was almost 5 in 1994 so, 34 years ago. Not 30.
Yeah ...cried watching the trailer.... Spielberg is a genius
Can't wait to see this. The trailer gave me goosebumps.
Boy--I gotta see this! I love movies about making movies and Spielberg's joy at capturing events visually has always inspired me to no end!
just seen in Cape Town without knowing much about the movie. Heartwrenching, I was gutted and sobbed often. All so relatable and true to life and stunning acting with memorable scenes, a powerful, beautiful movie .....

Judd’s think with his Father, reminded me of a story that was told when Walt Disney showed his father the new studio that had been built after Snow White was a success.
His father looked around, Walt asked what do you think, and his father asked: “…so what else could you do with this place?”
Walt said it could maybe be used as a hospital, but his father couldn’t grasp properly what his son was doing with his life.
Emotional and deep .
This and Babylon are my two most anticipated films for this year.
Me too, they're going to become classics I'm sure!
@@seanramsden6440 I hope so but I am being cautious with regards to The Fabelmans, Spielberg has become a flop director lately. Not that his films are bad (I personally loved WSS) but he has lost the touch he once had with the audience. Damien is new blood and has the pulse of what the people want more.
@@gpapa31 That's true though I feel like that's partially the subject he's chosen. This subject is literally made for him, I feel it could be one of his best movies (I hope!)
@@seanramsden6440 fingers crossed.
@@gpapa31 I watched the trailer for Babylon a couple of nights back. I must say I'm extremely disappointed with how it looks. Not quite what I expected. It looks like Hollywood is more of a backdrop to the main story of party-goers. Hopefully it's still a good film
Volume needs to be increased on this. Darn, I really wanted to hear it
Seth Rogen looks super skinny- I didn't recognize him for a second.
