Tito is a 2019 Canadian drama film written and directed by Grace Glowicki. Glowicki plays Tito, a man terrified of the outside world and hunted by sexual predators. The refuge he finds in an abandoned house is disturbed by the arrival of John (Ben Petrie), a cheerful and protective neighbor.

The film premiered at the 2019 South by Southwest Film Festival,[1] where it won the Adam Yauch Hörnblowér Award.[2] It also won the first Audacity Award at the 2019 Oldenburg International Film Festival.[3]

The film was shortlisted for the John Dunning Best First Feature Award at the 9th Canadian Screen Awards in 2021.[4]

Critical response

The New Yorker's Richard Brody called it "the most remarkable feature that I saw at the Maryland festival."[5]
