The collaboration connects audiences, filmmakers and international film communities as TINFF celebrates its 10th anniversary and TIFF begins its 51st edition.
Toronto’s September film season now has a new connection between two of its festival platforms. The Toronto International Film Festival and the Toronto International Nollywood Film Festival have announced a special cross-promotion linking TIFF26 with TINFF@10.
The timing matters. TINFF@10 is already underway, running from September 4 to 12, while the 51st Toronto International Film Festival begins September 10 and continues through September 20. Their overlapping dates create a shared window for audiences and filmmakers across Toronto’s film community.
The collaboration also arrives as TINFF celebrates its 10th anniversary. Organizers describe it as an opportunity to connect filmmakers, audiences and international communities with Toronto’s broader festival landscape, while highlighting diverse stories from Canada and around the world.

A connection between two Toronto film communities
The announcement frames the initiative as a relationship between audiences and filmmakers rather than a single announced event. It does not identify a joint screening, shared venue or combined ticket, so the practical details of the cross-promotion remain limited for now.
What is clear is the timing: TINFF@10 continues through September 12, overlapping with TIFF26 from September 10 onward. Both festivals are presented as Toronto-based celebrations of cinema, giving the collaboration a natural place within the city’s busiest film period.
TIFF26 is the 51st Toronto International Film Festival and is presented by Rogers. TINFF@10 marks the 10th anniversary of the Toronto International Nollywood Film Festival. Further details about shared public programming have not been announced.
