Canadian films starring Sandra Oh, Missy Peregrym and Geena Davis also nab TIFF slots.

Netflix’s Margaret Atwood drama Alias Grace, starring Anna Paquin and Sarah Gadon, is headed to the Toronto International Film Festival, organizers said Wednesday.

Director Mary Harron’s six-hour miniseries, based on the story of convicted murderer Grace Marks and Atwood’s best-seller, will screen in Toronto as part of its Primetime showcase of TV shows, ahead of the show’s global launch Nov. 3 on Netflix. TIFF also unveiled another 26 Canadian features for its Sept. 7-17 run.

Titles set for the contemporary world cinema sidebar include Kyle Rideout’s Public Schooled, toplined by Judy Greer; the Geena Davis-starrer Don’t Talk to Irene, a high school misfit comedy by director Pat Mills; Mina Shum’s Meditation Park, with Sandra Oh in the lead; and Adam MacDonald’s Pyewacket, starring Missy Peregrym and Laurie Holden.

House of Cards star Molly Parker will also screen in Toronto her short film directorial debut, Bird. Amanda Plummer and Clair Coulter star in the drama Parker wrote and directed about a despairing man who find’s his mother’s lost canary and, with the bird in hand, hope.

The festival will also feature world premiere screenings for Tarique Qayumi’s Black Kite, a Canada-Afghanistan co-production that mixes animation, documentary and live action; Ingrid Veninger’s Porcupine Lake; Robin Aubert’s zombie flick Les Affames; and Simon Lavoie’s The Little Girl Who Was Too Fond of Matches.

Oscar nominee Kim Nguyen’s Eye on Juliet, a love story that stars Joe Cole and is set to debut in Venice, will get a North American bow in the special presentations sidebar. In other programs, Alanis Obomsawin’s Our People Will Be Healed has been added to the masters section, while the TIFF docs sidebar has booked Sean Menard’s The Carter Effect, about NBA star Vince Carter playing in Toronto; Matt Embry’s MS film Living Proof; and Alan Zweig’s There is a House Here.

The 2017 Toronto International Film Festival kicks off Sept. 7 with the Shia LaBeouf-starrer Borg/McEnroe, and closes Sept. 17 with C’est La Vie!, by directors Olivier Nakache and Eric Toledano.

Working this boring ass shift I had to throw up a slap while here. Let these Alabama folks know about that @newjerzcannabiz I got a whole bunch more of assorted slaps to throw up out here. This is only the beginning. No matter where I'm at it's still a Jerzee Thang. #newjerzcannabiz #mindyourowncannabiz #findyourowncannabiz #stonedbynaturenj #njdabbersunited #dirtyjerzee #southjersey #alabama #medible #greers #workflow (at Mobile, Alabama)

GREER’S MARKET

Devlin Wilson

In 1916 Autry Greer, one of the pioneers of the Cash and Carry food store concept that eventually evolved into the modern supermarket, opened his first grocery store in Mobile, Alabama. Now five generations later the Greer family operates 33 supermarkets in Alabama, Mississippi, and Florida (as well as a couple of hardware stores). When Mobile artist Devlin Wilson heard that Jackie Greer was opening a new Downtown Mobile location at Government and Broad Streets, in time for the markets 100th anniversary, he approached his friend Julia Greer Forbes, Jackie’s daughter, with the concept of a mural. The 116’ wall, painted with Wilson’s Innova Arts partner, Shelley Ingersoll, now tells the story of the store starting from the first warehouse and horse-drawn wagons. This detail shows two of Autry’s sons, Jack and Barton (Bussie is also visible in the wide shot). @downtown_mobile @greersmarkets

Carson's family Christmas. Her favorite place to eat. What is her favorite movie?

Christmas at the Greers’ is a bit like an outdoor music festival: people are screaming, there is absolutely zero personal space, and there are never enough bathrooms. So basically a normal day at the Greers’, but with the added fun of her grandmother getting drunk and singing Christmas carols all day and her father in tears in the kitchen because he overcooked the goose. Carson’s job is to keep the kids out of her mother’s hair on Christmas day, so she usually throws them out into the snow for a snowball fight or to play Quidditch on training brooms. It’s basically Christmas tradition that someone is going to end up with a broken nose.

Carson’s favorite place to eat is on the couch in her apartment, after grabbing take-out from the cheap curry place down the street. She’s not very into movies, but she has seen the Ocean’s 11 remake at least a dozen times, and has the tiniest of crushes on Brad Pitt’s character.
