The festival opened with David Gordon Green's film Nutcrackers, and closed with Rebel Wilson's directorial debut film The Deb.[2]
Key programming announcements
editThe first programming announcements were released on June 18, 2024.[3] A second batch of films was announced on July 9,[4] and the opening and closing galas were announced on July 16.[2] Full program announcements began on July 22, with the gala and special presentations lineups announced that day and several other programs announced over the course of that week.[5] The full festival schedule, including numerous late additions, was announced on August 13.[6] In addition to new and current films, the schedule included anniversary special event screenings of Damien Chazelle's Whiplash and Mina Shum's Double Happiness.[7]
Nutcrackers marked the first time that an acquisitions title not already attached to a commercial distributor opened the festival since Creation launched the 2009 edition.[8] Barry Hertz of The Globe and Mail linked this choice to the festival's announcement earlier in the year that it plans to launch a full film market in 2026, suggesting that it signaled an effort by the festival to play an active role in helping the film to secure a distribution deal and thus demonstrate the business case for the market project.[8]
The choice of The Deb as closing film was effectively leaked a few days earlier than the official announcement, when Wilson posted a video to her Instagram account to accuse the film's producers of having tried to block the film's premiere at TIFF.[9]

TIFF Docs
editDocumentaries were announced on August 7.[20] One late addition, Alexis Bloom's The Bibi Files, was added to the program just a few days before the festival opened.[21]
The film Russians at War was pulled from the festival following protests accusing it of being Russian propaganda whitewashing the Russian invasion of Ukraine, a characterization which the film's producers and TIFF organizers denied.[22] According to CEO Cameron Bailey, "In emails and phone calls, TIFF staff received hundreds of instances of verbal abuse. Our staff also received threats of violence, including threats of sexual violence."[23] TIFF subsequently proceeded with a screening on September 17, outside of the festival dates.[24]
