Every Story

Film has the power to transform the way we see the world. But not every story gets told. TIFF launched the Every Story fund to promote diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging in film by challenging the status quo, celebrating diversity, and creating opportunities for equity-seeking creators.

For the Love of Film

For 18 months in 2020–21, TIFF temporarily closed its doors due to COVID-19. Our For the Love of Film Fund was established to support TIFF’s ongoing recovery from this closure, and to ensure we can stay strong and continue to transform the world through film.

Supporting Equity-Seeking and Emerging Talent

At TIFF we are dedicated to supporting the next generation of film-industry professionals, from the people who make the films, to those who market and sell them, to those who write about them in film publications.

“When you’re running a marathon, the weather conditions are extreme, and you’re thirsty and tired and don’t know why you signed up in the first place. You can feel your feet slowly giving up but deep down you don’t want to stop, so your jog turns into a weird hop and then your hop slowly turns into baby steps. And all of a sudden you come across a group of strangers who have watched you make the laps and they are cheering you on. You wake yourself up and put aside the pain and the fatigue because you know there are people rooting for you. That was the lab.”

–Asantewaa Prempeh, 2020 Filmmaker Lab participant

Supporting the Past and Future of Film

Film does more than entertain. It also inspires, changes perspectives, and connects us to the world. Through programmes like TIFF Next Wave and access initiatives, TIFF is ensuring that the future of film is filled with diverse perspectives and strong advocates. With the TIFF Film Reference Library and TIFF Cinematheque, we are ensuring that film history is preserved for generations to come for film lovers and researchers. And through our Cinematic Cities initiative with Therme Group, we are advocating for communicites connected through the power of art.
