The IIFFT Awards Gala stands as the signature fundraising event of the International Indian Film Festival Toronto, supporting the festival’s diverse, year-round programming and initiatives. Each year, this highly anticipated evening gathers Toronto’s most influential leaders across film, business, culture, and community for a vibrant celebration of artistic excellence and cultural exchange.

More than just an awards ceremony, the Gala offers a dynamic blend of entertainment, thought-provoking keynote addresses, inspiring stories, and unparalleled networking opportunities. It serves as a powerful platform where creativity meets philanthropy, and where supporters come together to champion the future of South Asian cinema on a global stage.

As part of this year’s celebrations, IIFFT proudly contributed $20,000 to the Scarborough Hospital Foundation in support of mental health initiatives—reflecting our ongoing commitment to giving back and making a meaningful impact within the communities we serve.
