TIFF reveals full line-up

The Toronto International Film Festival proudly announces a large number of films by acclaimed Canadian filmmakers at this year’s festival. Not to mention on-screen performances by some of the most recognizable Canadian performers in the business.

Steve Gravestock is a TIFF programmer. He talked about the depth of Canadian content at the 2010 festival. "It’s a testament to the creative minds and incredible talent in this country that we have such a diverse and exciting offering of Canadian films across all programmes in this year’s Festival," he commented. "It’s an exciting time for Canadian cinema and we’re proud to bring audiences this line-up of films."

There are 300 films in this year’s festival line-up. A few to note include: the world premiere of Trigger by Bruce McDonald. "Molly Parker and the late Tracy Wright form a highly dysfunctional yet endearing rock duo reuniting a decade after their band called it quits… features Sarah Polley, Don McKellar and Callum Keith Rennie."

Another film to watch for is the English Canadian premiere of Les Amours imaginaires (Heartbeats). "Wunderkind filmmaker Xavier Dolan returns with his second feature – a sophisticated comedy about close friends."
