The Royal Bank of Canada was cited in a Sept. 6 letter to TIFF CEO Cameron Bailey for supporting “destructive projects on Indigenous lands and BIPOC communities.”

The letter is also signed by a host of Canadian and international film creatives, including film directors, editors, festival programmers and cinematographers. Their letter was timed for the opening of TIFF, where RBC has been a key sponsor for 16 years and this year is sponsoring the Los Angeles Times studio for celebrity interview, RBC House, a venue for TIFF partners, and a festival party for The Black Academy on Sept. 10, at RBC House.

In addition, the TIFF Every Story Accelerator program is part of the RBC Screen Creators’ initiative supported by the RBC Foundation that looks to promote diversity, inclusion and belonging in film, according to the Canadian bank.
