[more]Starting out in 1976 as a collection of films from other festivals -- a "festival of festivals" -- the Toronto International Film Festival has become one of the most successful cinematic events in the world, universally regarded as an ideal platform to premiere films. Boasting a public eager for the best in contemporary film, as well as international attention from media, distributors, producers and buyers along with a galaxy of stars, the Toronto International Film Festival is considered the premiere film festival in North America.
throughout its growth in both size and influence, the Festival has remained committed to its principal objectives: to lead the world in cultural and creative discovery through the moving image and to place Canadian achievements in an international context. As the years show, the Festival continues to achieve these objectives by bringing together a remarkable diversity of local, national and international films and personalities to the delight of enthusiastic audiences.
Programs include: Canada First!, Canadian Open Vault, Canadian Retrospective, Contemporary World Cinema, Dialogues: Talking With Pictures, Discovery, Doc Talks Gala Presentations, Masters, Mavericks, Midnight Madness, Real To Reel, Short Cuts Canada, Special Presentations, Vanguard and Sprockets Family Zone.
