London Film School is proud to announce an exciting addition to its MA Film Marketing programme: a fully integrated industry experience at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) in 2026.
As part of their final term, students enrolled in the MA Film Marketing course will travel to Toronto in September to attend one of the world’s most prestigious film festivals and markets. This initiative is designed to provide students with unparalleled access to industry professionals, real-world marketing environments, and invaluable networking opportunities at the pivotal moment when they prepare to launch their careers.
The inclusion of TIFF in the curriculum reflects London Film School’s continued commitment to bridging academic learning with industry experience. Students will engage directly with film marketers, distributors, sales agents, and creatives, gaining insight into global film promotion strategies and emerging trends in the international marketplace.
“This is a transformative opportunity for our students,” said Lia Devlin, course leader for MA Film Marketing. “Attending TIFF at the culmination of their studies allows them to step straight into the industry, build connections and employment opportunities, and apply everything they’ve learned in a dynamic, real-world setting. It’s an exciting milestone that marks the beginning of their career journey into the international film arena.”
The Toronto International Film Festival is widely recognised as the key film business event of the autumn calendar, attracting leading filmmakers, studios, and media from around the world including the whole of the US industry. 2026 also marks the launch of TIFF’s dedicated market centre.
This initiative marks a significant enhancement to the MA Film Marketing degree, reinforcing the School’s reputation for innovation and international outreach.
