Recognition that goes beyond the counter and puts the pizza in the spotlight
TIFF began in 1976 as the Festival of Festivals, showcasing the best films from other festivals. It quickly became one of the world’s largest film events, with many premieres later earning major awards, including Oscars.
Opened in 2010, TIFF Lightbox is more than a cinema. Its five floors include screening rooms, galleries, studios, and a public film library, making it a year-round hub to explore and celebrate cinema.
