CIFT 2021

ABOUT

The Cyrus International Film Festival, nestled in the heart of Toronto, stands as a vibrant celebration of the city’s remarkable multiculturalism. Toronto, often heralded as one of the world’s finest examples of a diverse and culturally rich metropolis, serves as the perfect backdrop for this festival.

In a city that thrives on its multicultural tapestry, the festival takes its cue from Toronto’s own ethos of embracing and celebrating differences. As the festival honors Cyrus the Great’s legacy of upholding universal human rights and respecting human diversity, it aligns seamlessly with the values cherished by Toronto itself.
