A documentary about women who accused Louis C.K. of sexual harassment is set to screen at the Toronto International Film Festival.
opening night film, “Copa 71,” tells the story of the lost legacy of a 1971 international women’s soccer tournament that had record setting crowds in Mexico City but was largely erased from sports history. The film’s producers include Venus and Serena Williams as well as soccer super star Alex Morgan.
Powers winnowed the list of 22 from over 800 submissions. The lineup consists of 16 films, including “Sorry/Not Sorry” and “Mountain Queen,” that are seeking distribution., which, for the most part, no longer includes acquiring titles that aren’t commissioned, Powers is still optimistic that TIFF will generate sales.
“There are celebrity profiles about the famous, the infamous, and the overlooked and many of them will have a strong life head of them and will strongly appeal to fans,” says Powers. “Sometimes those stories don’t always have the complexity or sense of surprise that I crave. So, that’s why I was going in some other directions this year.”
