46th Toronto International Film Festival Official Selection and Special Presentations


Dates: Thursday, 9 Sep 2021 – Saturday, 18 Sep 2021

Location: Toronto, TIFF Bell Lightbox 


The 46th annual Toronto International Film Festival begins on September 9 to 18, 2021. And following the strict protocol for the control and prevention of the COVID-19 pandemic in Canada, it will be a "hybrid" of physical and digital screenings of both the official selection and special presentations and for other programmes.

The opening film is "Dear Evan Hansen" by Stephen Chbosky, an  adaptation of the Tony-winning musical of the same title.

“This film is ultimately about healing, forgiveness, and reaffirms how connected and essential we all are to one another. We couldn’t think of a more important idea to celebrate this year as we come together once again to share the power and joy of cinema in theaters together," said Cameron Bailey, the Artistic Director and Co-Head of TIFF.

The closing film is "One Second" by Zhang Yimou.
