Elle Fanning, Ethan Hawke and Channing Tatum visit L.A. Times Studio at TIFF

As a cinephile, there’s no feeling quite like the arrival of awards season, and for me, that means the fall film festivals are in full swing! This September, I find myself at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF), marking its 50th edition, and I can hardly contain my excitement. Alongside fellow reporters, critics, videographers, and photographers from The Times, we’re diving headfirst into the world of cinema to bring you all the latest news and highlights straight from the festival grounds.

Expect daily updates through our TIFF Daily newsletter, as well as exclusive photo and video content from the Los Angeles Times Studio. Get ready for an unforgettable cinematic journey – I can’t wait to share it with you!

Save this website and drop by over the weekend to meet new actors, directors, documentary makers, and global stars eager to greet you. Don’t forget to explore our comprehensive TIFF 2025 coverage as it unfolds during the entire event.
