The Toronto International Film Festival 2026 has wrapped, and the ScreenFish team is looking back at the movies, moments and surprises that defined TIFF '26. 

On this episode of SF Radio, ScreenFish’s Steve Norton is joined by TIFF team members Daniel Eng, Seun Olowo-Ake and Jason Thai to break down their experience on the ground at the festival. (Fellow team member Raevin Larue was unavailable for the recording.) We share our favourite films of TIFF 2026, the movies that surprised us most, memorable festival experiences and what we learned after days of screenings, interviews, red carpets and conversations with filmmakers.

Which TIFF movies stayed with us? What caught us completely off guard? And after another year inside one of the world’s biggest film festivals, what did we take away from the experience?

It’s our TIFF ’26 recap. Welcome (back) to the conversation.

In this ScreenFish 1on1 Interview, director Sai Karan Talwar discusses I AM THE PRIZE and its exploration of the seductive power of self-help culture. Talwar examines the fragility of the male ego and the dangerous idea that personal healing can be achieved through control or domination. He also digs into the complexities of Anthony, questioning how we judge someone whose pain manifests in damaging ways and whether understanding the forces that shape a person necessarily means excusing the choices they make.

I AM THE PRIZE premiered at HollyShorts '26.

Trzebuchowska also explores the film’s approach to bodies, aging and sexuality, what Maks reveals about our changing sense of self, and why some cinematic experiences are meant to be felt rather than explained.
