TIFF 2025The 50th Toronto International Film Festival, presented by Rogers, will run from September 4 to 14, 2025 in Toronto, Ontario. This milestone edition promises an unforgettable celebration of cinematic artistry, featuring an incredible blend of Canadian and international films and special events that honour TIFF’s legacy and future TIFF.
TIFF 2025 comes packed with headline‑making premieres. The festival will open with Colin Hanks’s documentary John Candy: I Like Me and close with Anne Émond’s Peak Everything. Highlights include world premieres of Aziz Ansari’s Good Fortune (with Keanu Reeves), Rian Johnson’s new Knives Out sequel, Wake Up Dead Man, Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein, and Sydney Sweeney in Christy, among many others
This year also marks a significant expansion of programming strands. Short Cuts, TIFF’s acclaimed short film program, now includes a new Best Animated Short Film Award, judged by a distinguished jury including cinematographer Ashley Iris Gill, Annecy’s Marcel Jean, and filmmaker Connor Jessup. Meanwhile, the Centrepiece series highlights global storytelling with 55 films from nearly 50 countries — and Primetime celebrates a decade of boundary‑pushing serialized storytelling.
TIFF’s Classics lineup brings legendary titles back to the big screen in dazzling 4K form, including rare and restored works like Aniki‑Bóbó and a 35mm screening of Jaws for the anniversary Next Best Picture.
