We at Artik have been printing t-shirts in Toronto since 1985 and we’ve watched the film industry explode in the past decade. It seems like every weekend there’s a new film festival celebrating international films, animation, horror, silent films and more! We’ve got student films, 24 hour film jams and star studded red carpets.<\/p>\n

In the middle of this dizzying swell of film festivals, we’ve been printing custom t-shirts<\/a> and branded sweatshirts<\/a> for the events themselves. Here are a few Toronto film festivals we’ve seen use branded merch to get attention and raise funds.<\/p>\n

Pendance Film Festival<\/a><\/h3>\n

\"Pendancethe festival: <\/strong>It’s now the third year that The Pendance Film Festival takes over the TIFF Lightbox & the AGO\u2019s Jackman Hall. With feature films, short films, special screenings, conferences, workshops, and panels. Pendance is among the fastest-growing film festivals in the world bringing the best of independent cinema to Toronto each winter.
\n\"Pendance<\/p>\n

the merch: <\/strong>The very serious man pictured above is wearing a Pendance t-shirt with their mantra “Story over everything” printed on the front. Pendance is keeping it simple with black and white t-shirts and custom hoodies. I’m a fan of the motto and the simple style, excited to see the Pendance fest grow over the next few years!<\/p>\n

Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF)<\/a><\/h3>\n

\"Embroidered<\/p>\n

the festival:\u00a0<\/strong>TIFF is a behemoth! Every year over 480,000 people come out to see new films and A-list stars. Since its founding in 1976, TIFF has grown to become a permanent destination for film culture operating out of the TIFF Bell Lightbox right\u00a0downtown. TIFF’s mission is “to transform the way people see the world through film” and they’re succeeding.<\/sup><\/p>\n

\"Custom<\/p>\n

the merch:<\/strong> TIFF does a pretty awesome job with the merch. You can go to the tiff lightbox any time and browse their embroidered t-shirts, screen printed tote bags<\/a> alongside Criterion DVDs, posters and other gifts for movie lovers including these:<\/p>\n

Toronto After Dark Film Fest<\/a><\/h3>\n

\"After<\/p>\n

the festival: <\/strong>Toronto After Dark Film Festival is one of the world\u2019s leading festivals for Horror, Sci-Fi and Action movie fans with over 10,000 attendees each year! Over October 15-23, 2020, the 15th Annual Edition will screen over 50 new films, both features and shorts, at the Scotiabank Theatre located at 259 Richmond Street West in the heart of Toronto\u2019s downtown Entertainment District.
