Film lovers, go north! This year’s Toronto International Film Festival kicks off on Sept. 4, promising 10 days of awards-season hopefuls, big-name docs, long-awaited labors of love, and imports coming everywhere from Ireland to Iran. Some are making their world premieres, some are coming straight down the film-festival pipeline from Berlin and Cannes, and others are heading to Canada straight from debuting at Venice or Telluride. But the 30 movies we’ve singled out from the more than 200 feature films (!) playing at this year’s TIFF all have us ready to spend some quality time in the dark.
