Films from Canadian heavyweights Atom Egoyan, Don McKellar, Sandra Oh
and Christopher Plummer are among the homegrown offerings coming to
the Toronto International Film Festival this September.

Festival organizers announced the Canadian slate of movies at a news
conference today in downtown Toronto.

Galas include Egoyan’s Chloe, a sexual thriller starring Julianne
Moore and Liam Neeson.

McKellar stars in Dilip Mehta’s Cooking With Stella as a chef in New
Delhi, while Oh appears alongside Woody Harrelson in the superhero
flick, Defendor.

Also coming to TIFF is the North American premiere of the Terry
Gilliam-directed The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus, featuring the
late Heath Ledger in his last role. Plummer also appears.

The festival will be closed by Jean-Marc Vallee’s Young Victoria, a
dramatization of the turbulent first years of Queen Victoria’s rule
and her enduring romance with Prince Albert.

TIFF runs Sept. 10 to 19.
