The stars are shining in Toronto!

Every year in September, Toronto hosts an international film festival that brings movie lovers to the city from all places all over the world.

From India to Argentina, and Egypt to France, TIFF will showcase films from around the world. Movie goers can watch movies in a variety of languages, including Arabic, Cantonese, Farsi, French, Hindi, Spanish and Tagalog.

The Toronto International Film Festival was originally founded in 1976 and you'll be happy to know that the Toronto Public Library carries many of the TIFF's past selections including Slumdog Millionaire, Precious and Hotel Rwanda.
