Two Galas and 14 Special Presentations were added to the Galas and Special Presentations lineups yesterday. From thought-provoking stories to passionate tales, and filled with international talent and global stars, these films will thrill, inspire, and resonate with audiences, organizers promise.

Toronto audiences will be among the first to see new films by directors Gerard Barrett, Emmanuelle Bercot, Terry George, Walter Hill, Sang-il Lee, and David Leveaux, amongst others.
