Among the films announced, projects by acclaimed directors Deepa Mehta, Heaven on Earth, and Atom Egoyan, Adoration (previously announced), will rub shoulders in early September with edgy new works such as Michael McGowan's One Week, Kari Skogland's Fifty Dead Men Walking and Toronto Stories, a 90-minute feature film crafted by four directors, David Weaver, Sook-Yin Lee, Sudz Sutherland and Aaron Woodley.
They join Passchendaele by Paul Gross on the bill.
