The Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) is back this week. Along with new movies, dazzling stars will also be gracing the 6ix from September 8 to 18, with big names like Oprah Winfrey, Jennifer Lawrence, Harry Styles, Zac Efron and more expected to make an appearance.

Fans can try and catch a glimpse of these A-listers on the red carpet, at premieres and even in private In Conversation With... events with celebrities like Taylor Swift, How To Get Away With Murder's Viola Davis, and Squid Game's Lee Jung-Jae.

On September 9, Swift's All Too Well: The Short Film will be screened for the first time in its original 35mm form, and fans will be able to join the iconic singer, songwriter, and director for an in-person event at the TIFF Bell Lightbox.
