From lighting, colour tech, sound effects, illusions and green screen, TIFF’s Picture Palace, curated by TIFF Artistic Direct and Co-Head, Cameron Bailey, offers a rare opportunity to experience different elements of film-making all in one fun and interactive exhibition created for all ages!
Picture Palace offers a deeper understanding of Hollywood’s most powerful tools. While in today’s amazing world of technological advancements there’s still wonder and charm found in the golden age of cinema.

See how filmmakers can transport you into a Bollywood dance scene on a giant green screen without having to actually leave the studio…yes, you will get chance to learn a few dance moves!
