TIFF announced today that it will collaborate in 2015 with TimesTalks, The New York Times’ initiative which livestreams conversations between Times journalists and today’s leading talents and thinkers.

The first TimesTalks+TIFF takes place in Los Angeles on Monday, February 16, at 8 p.m. P.T. (11 p.m. ET) at the Paley Center for Media in Beverly Hills, California, and features a special interview with The Imitation Game stars Benedict Cumberbatch and Keira Knightley.

A live audience of film lovers in L.A., and audiences around the globe via live webcast, will watch these Academy Award nominees for Best Actor and Best Supporting Actress in conversation with Cara Buckley, The New York Times culture reporter and lead writer for The Carpetbagger, the Times’ awards season blog.
