Movies directed by Australians Jocelyn Moorhouse and Wayne Blair are having their world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival, held Sep10-20. Moorhouse's "The Dressmaker" stars Kate Winslet and is set in rural Australia. (My favourite Australian movie, along with the comedy "Don's Party", is Moorhouse's "Proof", starring a young Russell Crowe and Hugo Weaving as a blind man who takes photos to help him judge who he can trust.) Blair's "Septembers of Shiraz" is set in the Middle East.

I'm trying to get an answer from TIFF about the Lightfoot doc that was underway a year or more ago..it was planned for 2014 TIFF..
So many blockbuster/Academy winners over the years have had their premieres in TO at TIFF..but it is rarely mentioned because they go on to 'premiere' in other cities AFTER TIFF and they make a bigger splash in the entertainment news..
