The Organization
TIFF is dedicated to presenting the best of international and Canadian cinema to film lovers.
What began as a ten-day film festival has grown to embrace programming 365 days a year. TIFF offers screenings, lectures, discussions, festivals, workshops industry support and the chance to meet filmmakers from Canada and around the world.
If you love film, you'll love it here.
Our mission is to transform the way people see the world.
Our vision is to lead the world in creative and cultural discovery through the moving image.
In September 2010, the opening of our new home, TIFF Bell Lightbox, will enable TIFF to expand to truly become a creative, community and global leader, and one of the world’s premiere organizations in the discovery and understanding of film.
TIFF. For the love of film.
