Cameron Bailey: podcast appearances and interviews

Cameron Bailey is a Canadian film critic and festival programmer who serves as the CEO of the Toronto International Film Festival. In his role, he oversees the organization and execution of one of the world's leading film festivals, which involves navigating complex logistical and editorial decisions. During his tenure, TIFF faced challenges such as the contentious decision in August 2025 to initially rescind an invitation to screen the documentary The Road Between Us: The Ultimate Rescue, citing legal clearance issues related to footage included in the film, some of which was filmed by Hamas during the 7 October 2023 attacks. The decision was later reversed, and the film was reinvited to the festival. Bailey’s leadership involves managing a diverse range of artistic, legal, and organizational considerations, maintaining TIFF’s reputation as a major platform for international cinema.
