Canadian titles include 鈥淪o Surreal: Behind the Masks,鈥� in which directors Neil Diamond and Joanne Robertson trace endeavours to repatriate Indigenous masks and other artifacts to the Yup鈥檌k and Kwakwa瘫ka瘫始wakw nations.

鈥淵our Tomorrow,鈥� written and directed by Toronto鈥檚 Ali Weinstein, follows the fight to save the waterfront entertainment venue Ontario Place amid redevelopment plans to build a massive spa and indoor waterpark.

Meanwhile, 鈥淟iving Together,鈥� the directorial debut by Montreal鈥檚 Halima Elkhatabi, follows several young Montrealers as they search for the ideal roommate.

TIFF runs Sept. 5 to 15.
