The 2021 Toronto International Film Festival, the 46th event in the Toronto International Film Festival series, is scheduled to be held from September 9 to 18, 2021. Due to continued the COVID-19 pandemic in Canada, the festival is currently planning for multiple contingencies, including both the need to stage another primarily online event and the potential to return to a more traditional model of physical screenings, although the currently foreseen model will again be a “hybrid” of physical and digital screenings.
