Unveiled during a press conference at downtown Toronto's TIFF Bell Lightbox, four Chinese films were among the 59 galas and special presentations, a small portion of the estimated 300-film lineup in September.
Ning Hao's Breakup Buddies is set to make its world premiere at the festival, while Zhang Yimou's Coming Home, Peter Chan's Dearest and Wang Xiaoshuai's Red Amnesia will be making their North American debut.
TIFF's artistic director Cameron Bailey revealed they will be announcing a much more extensive list of Chinese films in the coming weeks.
The festival has been shining the spotlight on the Chinese film industry in recent years. Besides bringing in big Chinese filmmakers and stars like Jackie Chan to Toronto, the festival has also made the Asian Film Summit - which started two years ago -a regular part of their program.
