According to a "fact sheet" released by the Festival before it began, this edition included 255 feature-length films[4] and 84 short films. Of the feature films, 147 are claimed to be world premieres.
The number of Canadian films at the festival (including co-productions) was listed as 28 features and 29 shorts.[5] Christopher Nolan's Dunkirk received a special IMAX 70mm screening at the Cinesphere as part of the main film slate and the 50th anniversary of IMAX, making it the first Nolan film to appear at the festival since Following, nineteen years earlier.[6]
The festival's final awards were announced on September 17.[7]
The following films were selected:[9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17]
In December, TIFF programmers released their annual Canada's Top Ten list of the films selected as the ten best Canadian films of 2017.[20] The selected films received a follow-up screening at the TIFF Bell Lightbox as a "Canada's Top Ten" minifestival in January 2018, where Unarmed Verses won the People's Choice Award.[21]
