A coming-of-age film set in Scarborough and an immigrant story that’s been a hit on the awards circuit are among the Toronto International Film Festival’s top selections of the year.
TIFF’s annual Canada’s Top Ten list includes Clement Virgo’s latest project “Brother,” based on David Chariandy’s novel about two Trinidadian-Canadian brothers growing up in 1990s Scarborough, a neighbourhood in Toronto.
Also making the list is “Black Ice,” by director Hubert Davis, a documentary that explores the role race played in hockey through a collection of first-hand accounts from players past and present.
