The Toronto International Film Festival
Toronto Event Date: September 10 -19, 2009
The Toronto International Film Festival Group is a charitable
arts organization with a mission to transform the way people see
the world. As a not-for-profit organization, we rely on philanthropic
support from individuals, foundations, sponsors and corporations
as well as government funding to sustain our annual programmes.
Your support of the Toronto International Film Festival Group
will make a difference to our learning programmes, outreach initiatives,
archival projects and year-round film presentations that serve
thousands of adults and children from all walks of life.
The downtown is dominated when this 10-day event comes to the
city. You can get tickets, but it is done through a balloting
process that starts in July.
