TORONTO — The stars are once again migrating north for the Toronto International Film Festival, which organizers say is set to return to its pre-pandemic glory days when it begins next week.
With a slate of roughly 200 features, the options range from the indie arthouse to Oscar bait to big-budget crowd pleasers.

Clement Virgo’s adaptation of David Chariandy’s award-winning novel about two Trinidadian-Canadian brothers growing up in Scarborough, Ont., is one of the buzziest Canadian titles at the festival this year. Set in the 1990s hip hop scene, the film is a stunning portrait of Toronto’s eastern borough, says TIFF CEO Cameron Bailey.
