The Variety and Chanel Female Filmmakers Dinner brought together an A-list of Hollywood stars and creatives, including Andrew Garfield, Elizabeth Olsen, “Nightbitch” director Marielle Heller (who attended the event ahead of her film’s premiere), Danielle Deadwyler, Barry Keoghan and more for a lively evening during the Toronto Film Festival. The atmosphere was electric, with drinks flowing, delicious food on hand and an impromptu game of “Two Truths and a Lie” breaking out.

Barry Keoghan agreed to make 'Bird' before he even read the script

The event, held at Soho House Toronto, included a cocktail hour downstairs before a three-course dinner on the social club's second floor. Inside, the highly anticipated cast of the film "Saturday Night" — Cory Michael Smith, Lamorne Morris, Ella Hunt and Dylan O'Brien — stopped by for its Tuesday night premiere. The film, a hot title at TIFF, is set in the chaotic 90 minutes before the first episode of "SNL" aired in 1975. The group mingled with fellow comedian and "Veep" star Tony Hale, who was also in town to promote his new film "Sketch."

Heller entered with her husband and fellow director, Jorma Taccone, of The Lonely Island and "MacGruber." Also milling about the cocktail bar were "Conclave" star Isabella Rossellini, "Baby Reindeer" breakout Nava Mau and awards nominee Deadwyler, who is pulling double duty at TIFF with "40 Acres" and "The Piano Lesson."

At the bar, stars posed for photos, including Himesh Patel, Edgar Ramirez, Amanda Collin and Leila George. Elsewhere, "The White Lotus" breakout star Beatrice Grannò hosted a game of "Two Truths and a Lie" with "Borat Subsequent Moviefilm" and "The Apprentice" star Maria Bakalova, "The Fire Inside" director Rachel Morrison, agent Tom Jeggo and the author of this article. Guess who was and wasn't a competitive tennis player.
