TIFF has laid off another 31 employees, or 17 percent of its workforce, amid the COVID-19 crisis
The Toronto International Film Festival has laid off another 31 employees as the impact of the coronavirus pandemic cuts deeply into its operating revenues.
The event-oriented Toronto festival has seen its Toronto headquarters, Bell Lightbox, shuttered since March and pandemic-era restrictions on travel and large gatherings are expected to greatly constrain the operations for TIFF's normally star-studded event in September. TIFF on Wednesday will outline how it will stage its September festival for Hollywood and other international players, which is traditionally seen as a launch-pad for the awards season leading up to the Academy Awards. In the meantime, the COVID-19 crisis has forced Toronto to dramatically redesign its business operations for both Bell Lightbox and the annual film festival.
