The 42nd annual Toronto International Film Festival was held from September 7 to 17, 2017. There were fourteen programs, with the Vanguard and City to City programs both being retired from previous years, with the total number of films down by 20% from the 2016 edition.[1][2] Borg/McEnroe directed by Janus Metz Pedersen opened the festival.[3]

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]
