TIFF Docs and Contemporary World Cinema Sections Announced

Moments ago, the Toronto International Film Festival announced some notable additions to its lineup. The festival now has released its Documentary and World Cinema sections, with the former highlighted by Laura Poitras‘ All the Beauty and the Bloodshed. With that doc set to play in a major spot at the New York Film Festival, it’s clear that the film is looking like a favorite on the circuit. TIFF predates NYFF, so it’s a bit of a scoop for the fest as well.

Here are the additions to the TIFF lineup, according to The Hollywood Reporter:
