Toronto International Film Festival Award for Best Canadian First Feature Film
Annual film award / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Toronto International Film Festival Award for Best Canadian First Feature Film is an annual film award, presented by the Toronto International Film Festival to a film judged to be the best Canadian feature film made by a first-time director.
As of 2017, the award is sponsored by the City of Toronto government and thus known as the "City of Toronto Award for Best Canadian First Feature Film".[1]
As with all of TIFF's juried awards, the jury has the discretion to grant one or more honorable mentions in addition to the main award winner.
The award has not been presented since 2019; however, in 2023, the Amplify Voices Award designated one of its two awards for BIPOC Canadian films as a Best First Film award.
