Chat Films with TIFFBOT

Still can’t decide which films to catch at this year’s TIFF? Don’t sweat, TIFFBOT is here to break it down for you.

In advance of Toronto International Film Festival running September 8 to 18, TIFF has launched its first robot film critic to help you navigate a program and schedule of more than 300 films. Chat with the film bot via Facebook Messenger app (Google Play, iTunes) on your phone by simply searching “TIFFBOT” and starting a conversation with him about your favourite genres (from drama to documentaries), actors and descriptions (funny, scary, moving). Just type in keywords and TIFFBOT responds with curated suggestions that include film trailers and movie summaries.

Fun, easy and tailored to your likes, this film critic robot is a handy sidekick all festival long. —Julia Parfenyuk
