Cameron Bailey, chief executive of TIFF, said in a statement late Sunday that Ravi Srinivasan ‘embraced life, movies and people, in all their complexity’
Ravi Srinivasan, senior manager of festival programming for the Toronto International Film Festival and a “champion” of the Canadian film community, has died at age 37.
Srinivasan, who grew up in Sarnia, Ont., studied film and English literature at Wilfrid Laurier University and then film and television production at Sheridan College. In addition to his work with TIFF, which he joined in 2013, Srinivasan programmed for Hot Docs and Reel Canada, which produces National Canadian Film Day.
While balancing his programming work with TIFF – in which a typical edition of the annual festival would see him screen 300 films over the course of three months – Srinivasan founded the Sarnia-based South Western International Film Festival in 2015.
