2021 Call for Submission

Toronto Arab Film Festival, May 27-30 2021

​Toronto Arab Film (TAF) is a non-for profit organization dedicated to bringing films from, and about the Arab world, to Toronto audiences. TAF began because of a need to fill a void that exists in film programming in Toronto, specifically a lack of films from the Arab regions and a desire to reinstate a tradition of going out of watch films that has been lost.

With a successful turn out for our inaugural film festival in July 2020, we managed to champion Arab filmmakers around the world while upholding safety protocols for everyone involved. We are eager to move forward on to our second annual film festival, which will be held on May 27-30, 2021. Given the up-in-the-air nature of our near future, we will be preparing for an in-person festival, with an online contingency. We hope to see you all next year in celebration of Arab films and filmmakers. 

Submission open: November 2, 2020 - January 3, 2021

Requirements: 
- must have been completed after January 1, 2019

  • Audience choice award 
  • Jury Award for most promising filmmaker
