The 50th Toronto International Film Festival

Big screens, bigger stories—TIFF 2025 is rolling out film reels and flashing bulbs again. Today marks the 50th edition of the Toronto International Film Festival, a milestone for a festival that has helped shape global cinema for decades. Since 1976, films like "La La Land," "Belfast," "Jojo Rabbit" and "12 Years a Slave" have made waves here first. But TIFF has never been only about Hollywood. It has also helped shine a spotlight on films from across Asia, Africa, Europe and Latin America, and made space for voices that don"t always get big prominent exposure.
