TIFF 2023 is just around the corner, running from September 7th to the 17th! The Toronto International Film Festival is arguably Toronto’s most anticipated event of the year. Being one of the largest film festivals in the world, founded back in 1976! Every year, celebrities, industry professionals, and film fanatics flock to Toronto for screenings and other TIFF-related events. This year, there are over 200 selections to choose from! We can’t possibly watch all of the films being showcased (yet), so we’ve selected some of the most anticipated ones to try and get tickets for!
