The TIFF started with a small collection of independent films from all over the globe.
Today, though it primarily remains an indie film fest, the TIFF also marks the start of Hollywood's Oscar buzz, as more of its films now premiere there.Though some criticize Hollywood's growing presence at the TIFF, the festival's overall positive impact on the local economy and job circuit only ensure that it will continue to grow in forthcoming years.
