Canada Ontario Toronto Toronto International Film Festival
Annual cinema event showcasing international films, industry networking & celeb appearances, held in Ontario's capital city each September.
Tips from the community

Toronto International Film Festival has evolved over the years from an indie showcase into a Hollywood blowout, where tickets to world premieres sell out quickly and the entire American media industry descends on the city. Streets close down, waiters work overtime and, best of all, celebrities are suddenly everywhere. Your best bets will be the
TIFF Bell Lightbox theatre, the Ritz-Carlton hotel, Montecito and the members-only Soho House.
