TIFF Lightbox, Film complex in Entertainment District, Toronto, Canada
The TIFF Bell Lightbox stands 156.7 meters tall with 42 floors above ground and features a glass exterior that defines its modern architectural design.
The building, completed in 2010, was constructed on land where the York General Hospital operated since 1829, with artifacts discovered during construction.
The complex includes five theaters, exhibition spaces, and galleries dedicated to showcasing international cinema and supporting Canadian film productions throughout the year.
