Engaging, educational and entertaining, the Sprockets Toronto International Film Festival for Children is an initiative of TIFF that offers children and youth the opportunity to learn about cultural perspectives from around the world through the power of the moving image.
An enriching experience that is much more than just a day at the movies, Sprockets includes a Public Programme for ages three and up and a week-long School Programme for students in grades 1 to 12. Featuring the best of Canadian and international cinema for children and youth, Sprockets offers a compelling selection of features and shorts on diverse subjects in a variety of genres and styles. It provides a rare opportunity to watch films that kids around the world are lining up to see and that in many cases may not be available again in Toronto.
In its first year the festival had an attendance of 2,300. It has since grown at a phenomenal pace, increasing its audience to over 13,000 in 2009. The tremendous success of the event led to the creation of the Sprockets Family Zone section at the Toronto International Film Festival, the year-round outreach programme Special Delivery and the Pocket Fund, a fund-raising initiative.
