Wow, that's a lot of flicks. Everything from Peter Mullan's Neds to Benedek Fliegauf's Womb (that's right, it's a trailer!) to more Greek weirdness in Athena Tsangari's Attenberg. I wish I was going.

Rachel Weisz in The Whistleblower The Toronto International Film Festival has added even more films to their line-up today as the complete line-up was announced, which ended up causing the festival's server to crash, but I was lucky enough to get in and get out before missing out on the information.
First off, the festival's Mavericks line-up is quite interesting, which includes a series of guest presentations and this year will see Edward Norton interview Bruce Springsteen, NBA All-Star and native Canadian Steve Nash will present his hour-long film Into the Wind, Apichatpong Weerasethakul will talk with the audience as his Cannes Palm d'Or-winning film Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall his Past Lives was just added to the Masters programme, Ken Loach and Paul Laverty will be interviewed by Michael Moore on politics and cinema and Philip Seymour Hoffman will have his own panel. Also on hand will be Bill Gates,...

The Toronto International Film festival today announced an additional 102 films to their schedule, making it the most comprehensive and wide ranging film festival in the world… well not exactly.
Going over the list of new films, there are no African-American films, and only two African films on the list, and one of those films is “iffy” at best. The “iffy” one is The Place In Between by filmmaker Sarah Bouyain, which deals with a bi-racial woman who travels from France to Burkina Faso, to find her mother and a white woman in France who “seeks to learn an African language for reasons unknown.”
The only film that can by considered a traditional genuine African film is Viva Riva! by Congolese filmmaker Djo Tunda Wa Munga (pictured), about Riva who “returns home to Kinshasa flush with cash. The town is literally out of gas, and he is sitting on a truckload of it.
