The pop icon’s post-screening performance on Sept. 8 will follow Gaga’s Joanne world tour having a two-night stand at Toronto’s Air Canada Centre on Sept. 6 to 7, just as TIFF gets underway. Gaga’s latest concert tour kicked off in Vancouver on August 1.
Gaga: Five Foot Two, directed by Emmy-nominated filmmaker Chris Moukarbel, offers behind-the-scenes access as Gaga, born Stefani Joanne Germanotta, meets with close friends and family, records and releases her 2016 album, Joanne, and deals with personal struggles. The documentary is produced by Heather Parry for Live Nation Productions, and CAA brokered its sale to Netflix.
The video streaming giant will launch Gaga: Five Foot Two simultaneously in 190 countries on Sept. 22, after its Toronto debut. Following the announcement about the doc, Gaga posted a number of clips to her Instagram page, with images making up a larger poster for the film.
