TIFF Rolls Out the Red Carpet

The Toronto International Film Festival is officially underway, kicking off its 11-day run this week. This year's edition brings together nearly 300 titles, roughly 800 guests, and thousands of industry delegates from across the film world.

A Canadian Cultural Fixture

TIFF remains one of the country's biggest cultural exports, drawing filmmakers, actors, and press from around the globe to Toronto each September. It's also considered a key stop on the awards-season circuit, with many films that premiere there going on to factor into Oscar conversations later in the year.

CBC has been capturing highlights from the festival floor, red carpets, and screenings as the event unfolds. More coverage and photos are expected throughout the 11-day run.
