Geddes began his career at TIFF in 1997, when he was brought on by Midnight Madness founder Noah Cowan to co-program the selection.
Geddes passes the TIFF baton to his programming associate and Midnight Madness protégé Peter Kuplowsky.
“When I started at TIFF in 1997, I had no idea it would be a journey that would last two decades,” said Colin Geddes.
Geddes, an international programmer of TIFF’s cutting edge Midnight Madness and Vanguard programmes, is leaving after 20 years with the Toronto International Film Festival.
