And that, autumn festival watchers, is it: after starting its roll-out in advance of Venice’s announcements, the Toronto International Film Festival line-up is complete, with the full public schedule available for perusal for domestic and international attendees. Festival-goers, press and buyers will have the chance for a key rendezvous with the year’s best and most noteworthy films at the gathering, which runs from 4-14 September.

The episodic Primetime section looks promisingly international, headed by an Iranian show, The Savage, created by Houman Seyyedi, and India’s Gandhi from Sameer Nair and Hansal Mehta, an overdue retelling of the great statesman and pacifist’s life. Marco Bellocchio is probably the most recognisable name with two episodes of his series Portobello - The Fall of Enzo Tortora, telling the story of a notorious miscarriage of justice in 1980s Italy.
