Today we brought the industry together at the Canadian Pavilion for an afternoon of real conversation and real connection. Henri Pardo joined our CEO Joan Jenkinson for an honest look at what it takes to get projects greenlit and doors opened for Black storytellers.
A room full of Black screen industry professionals from Canada and around the world. Great energy, lots of connections, and a very good time at the TIFF Black Excellence Brunch.

A beautiful sunny Sunday afternoon at the @cfccreates Homecoming on September 13, and a great chance to reconnect with fellow CFC alumni and friends from across the industry.
A special highlight was the exhibit for CFC alumnus Alfons Adetuyi’s new feature film, Dreams of the Moon, including the moon rover used in the production. Such a treat to see a piece of the film up close and celebrate the work of a fellow alumnus.
Congratulations to @mj7757 and the CFC team on a wonderful event. Always good to come home to the CFC.
Today, BSO joined @OntarioCreates, the British Film Institute, the @screen_office and industry colleagues for Ontario x UK Day 2026 at the Allied Music Centre at Massey Hall.

Kicking off the festival in style at the TIFF Opening Night Party at Yorkville Village.
