The Toronto International Film Festival has added two final titles to its September line-up - Tian Zhuang Zhuang’s The Warrior And The Wolf and Hana Makhmalbaf’s Green Days.
The Warrior And The Wolf, a drama of the love between a warrior and widow before the wars preceding the unification of China, will screen as a Special Presentation while Hana Makhmalbaf’s Green Days, a docu-drama set against the backdrop of the recent election crisis in Iran, will screen in the Vanguard section.
The former is a world premiere although the latter as already been named as an official selection at Venice.
TIFF made the announcements as it presented a list of world and international premieres screening at the festival that are available for acquisition in major territories, along with a list of North American premieres also screening at Venice.
