The Toronto International Film Festival was first launched as the Toronto Festival of Festivals, collecting the best films from other film festivals around the world and showing them to eager audiences in Toronto. The 2021 Toronto International Film Festival took place from 9 to 18 September 2021. The festival's current executive director is Cameron Bailey. Past recipients of this award include Oscar-winning films, such as Life Is Beautiful (1998), American Beauty (1999), Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (2000), Slumdog Millionaire (2008), The King's Speech (2010), 12 Years a Slave (2013), La La Land (2016), Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri (2017), Green Book (2018), Jojo Rabbit (2019), and Nomadland (2020). The festival's People's Choice Award-which is based on audience balloting-has emerged as an indicator of success during awards season, especially at the Academy Awards. This is partially the result of the festival's ability and reputation for generating " Oscar buzz". In 2007, Time noted that TIFF had "grown from its place as the most influential fall film festival to the most influential film festival, period".
In 1998, Variety magazine acknowledged that TIFF "is second only to Cannes in terms of high-profile pics, stars, and market activity". TIFF starts the Thursday night after Labour Day (the first Monday in September in Canada) and lasts for eleven days.įounded in 1976, TIFF is now one of the largest and most prestigious events of its kind in the world. In 2016, 397 films from 83 countries were screened at 28 screens in downtown Toronto venues, welcoming an estimated 480,000 attendees, over 5,000 of whom were industry professionals. Bell Lightbox is the cultural centrepiece and home to TIFF programming outside festival dates.
