Toronto International Film Festival — First Waves of Premiere Announcements

Written by Mariane Tremblay

The 50th edition of the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) is set to take place from September 4 to 14, 2025, and we’re thrilled that our team will be on the ground to cover the festival this year. 

Over the past few weeks, TIFF has begun unveiling the first waves of titles set to premiere at the festival, and the lineup is already shaping up to be nothing short of impressive. From world premieres by celebrated auteurs to exciting new voices in international cinema, this year's early announcements promise a rich and diverse program.

With TIFF celebrating its 50th anniversary, the festival is expected to be bigger and bolder than ever. And this is just the beginning—more programming announcements (including Midnight Madness, Discovery, and Platform) are on the way.
