Ein Stück Geschichte

Opened in 2010, TIFF Bell Lightbox was built as a permanent venue for the Toronto International Film Festival, which began in 1976. The name 'Lightbox' reflects the building's design and its role in showcasing film. It has since become a central hub for film culture in Canada.
