The Toronto International Film Festival International People's Choice Award is an annual film award, presented by the Toronto International Film Festival to films from outside North America that did not receive placements in the long-running People's Choice Award. [1]
The award was introduced for the first time at the 2025 Toronto International Film Festival, concurrently with the original People's Choice Award being modified to restrict its scope to films from Canada and the United States.
Barry Hertz of The Globe and Mail criticized the newly introduced award when it was first announced at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival, stating that it "feels unnecessary, perhaps even exclusionary in a backwards way" and it is "...isolating any “international” film into what can only be seen as a lesser-than siloed category."
