Toronto Arab Film (TAF) is a non-profit organisation bringing films from and about the Arab world to Toronto audiences. TAF began in 2017 with the goal of addressing a lack of films from the Arab world in Toronto film programming. It has since grown into a multifaceted organisation that promotes the diversity of Arab cultures, builds community, creates opportunities for exchange, and develops emerging artists. TAF is ultimately rooted in a desire to reinstate a tradition that has been lost over time: coming together to watch films.
Our Mission
To showcase the diversity of the Arab world and support emerging Arab filmmakers, while building connections between the Arab and non-Arab community.
Our Vision
To spearhead a significant, positive shift in the image of the Arab world among both Arab and non-Arab film audiences.
