Piers Handling, Director and CEO of TIFF - Cameron Bailey, Artistic Director of the Toronto International Film Festival
Accommodating the converged and converging lanes of producing filmed content that travels across the small and big screen, the 2015 Toronto International Film FestivalR will shine the spotlight on episodic storytelling with Primetime, a new programme presenting the best in international television on the big screen. The lineup will showcase up to six high-quality programs that demonstrate the strength of contemporary television coming from broadcasters, streaming services or independent filmmakers.

Piers Handling, Director and CEO of TIFF, said: "What better way to celebrate our 40th anniversary than with a programme that focuses on the new golden era of television that's currently producing high-quality global programming, terrific writing, and direction that rivals the best feature filmmaking. The Festival has explored this area for years and we're thrilled to provide an exclusive platform for these strong creative voices."

Cameron Bailey, Artistic Director of the Toronto International Film Festival said: "Film and television have been converging for years. With many filmmakers gravitating to television to experiment with that medium, Primetime will highlight these developments internationally, spotlighting the growing intersection between these two moving-image cultures and industries."

The Primetime lineup will be announced in the coming months. The programme will include public screenings and Q&A sessions with show creators. The Festival's Industry Conference will incorporate leading creative producers and thinkers from the world of long-form and episodic storytelling.

The 40th Toronto International Film Festival runs September 10 to 20, 2015.
