Toronto Motorcycle Film Festival

ABOUT THE TORONTO MOTORCYCLE FILM FESTIVAL Now in its fifth year, the Toronto Motorcycle Film Festival is a world-recognized and top-rated cultural event that brings people together to celebrate universal stories told through the lens of motorcycling. The Festival screens documentary, narrative films, animation, experimental, and VR experiences and includes post-film Q&As with attending filmmakers, jury and audience awards, a festival kick-off party, and a moderated TMFF Talks Q&A panel session. The festival is open to submissions from any country. OUR PLAN FOR 2021 This year's festival is scheduled for September 17–25. We plan to have a live event with in-theatre screenings and experiences and supplement that with additional online screenings. We will present your film on our online screening platform and in a physical venue pending public health approval and in accordance with health and safety guidelines and recommendations made by government health officials. Where required online screenings can be configured in accordance to your availability window, geo-restriction, and volume requirements. If you have any questions, please contact us. COVID-19: Due to the ongoing pandemic, we are capable to move fully online if required. We had a great experience with our online Festival in 2020 which received positive feedback and allowed us to reach an even wider audience.
