The MIFF has been attracting criticism from China over the inclusion of the film Ten Conditions of Love, a documentary about Uyghur leader Rebiya Kadeer.
Kadeer lives in Washington in exile from China. China blames Kadeer for the recent riots in the Xinjiang province.
Chinese films have been pulled from the festival in protest over the inclusion of the documentary in the program.
The MIFF website was hacked on the first full day of the festival.
Instead of the usual website, visitors were greeted by a white page with an animated waving chinese flag and multi-coloured text reading:
We like film,but we hate Rebiya Kadeer!
We like peace,and we hate East Turkistan terrorist!
Please apologize to all the Chinese people!
Hacked by oldjun!
