The head of North America’s largest film festival warns that Trump tariffs could stifle creativity in Hollywood.

He emphasizes that Hollywood is an international industry that thrives on cross-border collaborations.

The film industry relies on talent and resources from around the world to produce innovative and diverse content.

Restricting international cooperation could limit the industry’s ability to tell compelling stories and reach global audiences.

The threat of tariffs and trade barriers looms large over the entertainment sector’s future prospects.

Filmmakers fear that increased costs and restrictions could hinder their ability to bring fresh perspectives to the screen.

The Toronto International Film Festival chief urges policymakers to consider the broader impact of protectionist measures on creative industries.

He stresses the importance of fostering a global environment that encourages artistic exchange and collaboration.

Ultimately, the fate of Hollywood’s creativity may hinge on the decisions made by political leaders regarding trade policies and tariffs.
