Toronto Film Critics Association

--stories that explore identity, heritage, displacement, resilience and hope. But supporting and amplifying all voices, the arts community can create opportunities for understanding and empathy through creative expression. -- Johanna Schneller, TFCA (5/5)

Recognizing and celebrating the work of all artists is essential in fostering a cultural landscape that values diverse perspectives, histories and lived experiences. Artists bring deeply personal and often complex narratives to the global stage (4/5)

We encourage all winners to share any additional remarks on their personal platforms, and we also encourage people to visit Elle-Máijá Tailfeathers' website [https://www.elle-maija-tailfeathers.com/]. Film is a powerful space for dialog, reflection and human connection. (3/5)

Elle-Máijá Tailfeathers' speech -- along with those of other recipients -- was shortened to maintain the timing of the awards show. That decision was mine as president, and in light of this outcome, I will be tendering my resignation. (2/5)

Please see the following statement from our former president.

"The Toronto Film Critics Association is saddened to learn that Elle-Máijá Tailfeathers has chosen to return her award. We were proud to recognize her work, which was both deserving and meaningful. (1/5)
