After a successful expansion in 2012, TIFF Industry presents a robust week of TIFF Kids programming geared towards inspiring and engaging creators of children's content. TIFF Kids Industry 2013 will attract a diverse group of content creators, filmmakers, producers, distributors, curators, educators and investors to speak as part of TIFF Industry's continuing professional development stream. Topics will explore iconic franchises, winning adaptations, and the empowerment of children in film and media. We will focus on nurturing the creative potential of our delegates by providing an exciting space for new content creation for children across cultures, generations, and media.
