Director, actor, Academy Award–nominated screenwriter, and author Sarah Polley joins us in-person for the Canadian launch of her debut collection of essays, Run Towards the Danger. Polley will discuss the complex process of exploring these personal stories from her life, the strategy in overcoming past trauma that helped her find a path forward, and the fallibility of our own memories.

Each ticket for this event comes with a pre-signed copy of Run Towards the Danger. Copies will be personally signed by Sarah Polley and can be picked up in-person at TIFF Bell Lightbox as of March 2. For ticket prices, click on the event link.

This event is presented in partnership with Penguin Random House Canada and is generously supported by the RBC Women Creators’ Initiative.
