Bring your curiosity. Bring the friend who always stays for the credits. The 11th Open World Toronto Film Festival takes place September 25–27, 2026, at Kensington Studios, 19 Kensington Avenue, Toronto.

We’re looking forward to sharing films, meeting their makers and turning three days in Kensington Market into a place for cinema, culture and connection.

The conversation is part of the festival

OWTFF industry talks make space for the questions that follow a film out of the screening room: how people create, how they collaborate and what it takes to keep making work. Come ready to listen, ask questions and meet people whose perspectives might stay with you.

The official schedule is coming soon. Screening times and industry-talk details will be published once confirmed. Keep an eye on The Latest as the programme takes shape.

Make it a shared plan

Send this to your film-loving friends, choose who you’re coming with and get your event tickets. You can also explore the festival and meet the team.

A warm thank-you to every OWTFF partner helping bring the festival together. Independent cinema grows through people showing up—for the films and for each other.
