Toronto International Film Festival

However, hundreds of films each year are shown over a week at venues throughout Toronto, including the Scotiabank Theatre in the Entertainment District, The Princess of Wales Theatre, Roy Thomson Hall and the Cinesphere IMAX Theatre, not to mention some of Toronto’s drive-ins.

Many well-known and Oscar-nominated films have premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival, including Black Swan, 127 Hours and Silver Linings Playbook. The Festival also has its own awards, some juried and others determined by audience vote, putting Toronto alongside Cannes, Telluride and Sundance. 

The Festival is also when the TIFF Industry Conferences take place, with influential and inspiring panel discussions and talks given by some of the top screen professionals in the biz.
