The 51st Toronto International Film Festival begins today, kicking off 11 days of premieres, screenings, and events. Company 3 continues its partnership with TIFF in 2026. Across this year’s festival lineup, Company 3 artists collaborated on 17 projects, providing color, sound, finishing, and dailies services.

Opening TIFF is the Gala Presentation and World Premiere of Being Heumann from director Siân Heder. The historical drama about disability rights activist Judy Heumann was shot by cinematographer Jamie Ramsey, BSC, SASC, with color by Senior Colorist Joseph Bicknell. TIFF will also honor Heder with the TIFF Tribute Award in Impact Media.

Also making its World Premiere is Chris Rock’s Misty Green, shot by cinematographer Kira Kelly, ASC, with color by Senior Colorist Tom Poole and ADR recording by Barry Donnelly. The festival will celebrate Rosalind Eleazar’s performance in the film with the TIFF Tribute Performer Award.

Fresh from its World Premiere at the Venice Film Festival, Florian Zeller’s Bunker makes its North American Premiere at TIFF. The film was shot by cinematographer Ben Smithard, with color by Senior Colorist Gareth Spensley.

Rounding out the Gala selections are the World Premieres of Tim Blake Nelson’s The Life and Death of Wilson Shedd, shot by cinematographer Benoit Soler with color by Senior Colorist Yoomin Lee, and Trudie Styler’s Up Against It, shot by cinematographer Dante Spinotti, ASC, AIC, with color by Colorist James Slattery.

Among this year’s Special Presentations are four films featuring the work of Company 3 artists. Peter Farrelly’s I Play Rocky was shot by cinematographer Sean Porter, ASC, with color by Senior Colorist Jill Bogdanowicz. Ben Shirinian’s The Housewife features cinematography by Michael Merriman and color by Senior Colorist Stephen Nakamura. Danny Boyle’s INK, which recently premiered at Venice, was shot by Alwin Küchler with color by longtime collaborator and Senior Colorist Jean-Clément Soret. Another highlight is Elizabeth Chai Vasarhelyi and Jimmy Chin’s Everest: The Other Side, shot by Clair Popkin with color by Senior Colorists Stefan Sonnenfeld and Yoomin Lee.
