The 50th annual Toronto International Film Festival was held from September 4 to 14, 2025. To mark the festival's 50th anniversary, the festival programmed a special series, The TIFF Story in 50 Films, to screen through June, July and August 2025 at the TIFF Lightbox.
The first programming announcement was that Colin Hanks' documentary film John Candy: I Like Me, about the actor John Candy, would open the festival. The full program was released on August 12.
The festival courted controversy regarding its final programming decisions, specifically with respect to the inclusion, exclusion, and subsequent re-inclusion of the Israeli documentary The Road Between Us: The Ultimate Rescue, which depicts rescue efforts during the October 7 attacks in southern Israel.
Hamnet was the winner of the festival's People's Choice Award.
