Toronto International Film Festival

Isn't it about time Bill Murray got his own day? TIFF thought so too, and now you can catch live screenings of as many as four of his films in one day. You know where we'll be on September 5th

It’s almost August, which means September is just around the corner. And we all know September means one thing: TIFF. So with the recent announcement of some of the films playing this year’s festival, we thought we’d take a look at a few of the titles we’re excited to see in the lineup
