Toronto Film Fest Lineup Unveiled!

Greetings, citizens! ROBOGEEK here... and holy crap I wish I was going to Toronto this year!

326 films will screen at the 26th Toronto International Film Fest this September 6-15, and you can check out the impressive lineup for yourself here.

I mean, where to even begin? Browsing the list is dizzying, though several highlights did jump out at me...

Of course, there are the Gala Presentations of the Hughes' Bros.' FROM HELL, Scott Hicks' HEARTS IN ATLANTIS, Peter Chelsom's SERENDIPITY, and Istvan Szabo's TAKING SIDES. Then there's Alfonso Cuaron's Y TU MAMA TAMBIEN, David Lynch's MULHOLLAND DRIVE, and - how cool is this? - midnight screenings of Christophe Gans' LE PACTE DES LOUPS ("The Brotherhood of the Wolves").

Plus, there are Special Presentations of Guillermo del Toro's EL ESPINAZO DEL DIABLO ("The Devil's Backbone"), Jean-Pierre Jeunet's LE FABULEUX DESTIN D'AMÉLIE POULIN ("The Fabulous Destiny of Amelie Poulin"), David Mamet's HEIST, as well as Rick Linklater's TAPE and WAKING LIFE. And there are documentaries like George Ratliff's HELL HOUSE, Arthur Bradford's HOW'S YOUR NEWS, and Justine Shapiro, B.Z. Goldberg and Carlos Bolado's PROMISES.

And I haven't even touched on the massive Contemporary World Cinema program yet!

For more information, I recommend Etan Vlessing's article in today's Hollywood Reporter, which you can read here.
