It’s officially time to get excited for the upcoming Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) season in Toronto from September 5-15, 2024! With the slightly altered experience last year due to industry strikes, we’re crossing our fingers for a ‘back-and-better-than-ever’ time celebrating international films and all the talent that goes into them!
