Toronto International Film Festival Cancels #TIFF18 Press Conference Following Shooting

Toronto International Film Festival

The Toronto International Film Festival has canceled the planned #TIFF18 press conference scheduled for Tuesday, July 24, following the shooting in a popular Toronto’s Greektown neighborhood late Sunday night when a gunman opened fire killing two and wounding 13. The gunman is also dead, Toronto Police Chief Mark Saunders said. Instead,  the 2018 Toronto International Film Festival’s first slate of Galas and Special Presentations will be announced by press release on Tuesday, July 24.

In light of the tragedy that occurred last night in Toronto and out of respect for those affected, TIFF is cancelling its scheduled press conference tomorrow, July 24th. Instead, the film announcements will go out via press release at 10am.

The Toronto Danforth area is the gold standard of our city’s vibrancy and we stand with our fellow Torontonians in condemnation of this violence.
