Christie plays dominant role at Toronto International Film Festival

Since its founding in 1976, The Toronto International Film Festival® (TIFF) has gained a global reputation as a launching pad for the best international, Hollywood and Canadian cinema. Its exceptional record for nurturing major new talent has helped it gain worldwide acclaim as one of the most important film festivals. From a modest audience of 35,000 in its first year, attendance has grown to more than half a million, with a program this year that included 1,285 screenings of 335 titles from 64 countries around the world. Nearly half of all titles were screened digitally.

Christie’s new generation Solaria™ Series 4K-ready projectors screened a record number of digital titles at TIFF in September 2010. A projection sponsor for TIFF for 10 years, Christie projectors showcased the new generation of filmmakers as digital technology gains increasing popularity in the cinema industry.

“Christie has been instrumental in ensuring we are able to meet the growing demand for the sharp, vivid images that are the hallmark of digital technology.”

Diane Cappelletto, Director of Production, TIFF
