This year, TIFF is going bigger. Introducing TIFF: The Market — a brand-new, large-scale initiative launching this September, bringing global film, series and innovation industries together in downtown Toronto for seven days.

We spoke with Market head Charles Tremblay and TIFF's chief programming officer Anita Lee about why now was the time to go big and what it means for Canadian creators.

"I always believed it was a missed opportunity to not have an official market attached to the largest public film festival in the world," says Tremblay. cmf-fmc

What if solving a case wasn't just about finding clues, but about deciding who on your team should interpret them? 🔍

Step into a stylized neon-noir Canadian cityscape as a team of paranormal detectives, investigating supernatural cases where every discovery depends on perspective. Assign the right agents to a case, and you'll shape what you uncover, how the clues are read, and how the final report comes together.

The Eventide is the debut project from Edmonton's new indie game studio, Studio Reset, and the CMF is proud to support it through ourPrototyping program.
