The 51st Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) is upon us, following on the heels of the Venice and Telluride Film Festivals, whose lineups included a diverse slate of films in different genres. The same is true of TIFF 2026, taking place from September 10-20, 2026. Though it features a wide variety of films that debuted at Venice, Telluride, Cannes, and other fests, TIFF also boasts a number of its own premieres that will be a major part of the awards season discussion.<\/p>\n

The opening night film is Sian Heder\u2019s<\/a> Being Heumann<\/a>, starring Ruth Madeley<\/a> in the role of activist Judy Heumann, sure to be a buzzworthy title after Heder\u2019s last film CODA<\/a> won the Oscar for Best Picture back in 2022. Other notable premieres include Peter Farrelly\u2019s<\/a> I Play Rocky,<\/a> starring Anthony Ippolito<\/a> as Sylvester Stallone<\/a> as he crafts the titular film, another Best Picture winner; Chris Rock\u2019s<\/a> Misty Green<\/a>, starring Rosalind Eleazar<\/a> as fading Hollywood star trying to make a comeback; and Susanna White\u2019s Prima Facie, an adaptation of the 2019 stage play of the same name starring Cynthia Erivo<\/a>.<\/p>\n
