ABOUT THE TORONTO MOTORCYCLE FILM FESTIVAL
The Toronto Motorcycle Film Festival is a unique cultural event that brings people together to watch universal stories told through the lens of motorcycling. Now in its fourth year, the TMFF is the first and only Canadian film festival dedicated to screening movies focused on motorcycles and the incredible culture of motorcycling. Held over four days, the Festival screens documentary and narrative films 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.
