"We had just over 40,000 people attend last year's festival and we're expecting that to grow considerably this year because we've added new venues," says Marrelli.
The Globe, Uptown, Telus World of Science Centre and Plaza theatres will be joined by Eau Claire Cinema #6 and the Jack Singer Concert Hall, which will host two of the festival's gala presentations. The opening night gala at the Globe on Sept. 23 is Deepa Mehta's Water, which opens the Toronto International Film Festival tonight.
Metha and the film's star Lisa Ray will be in attendance.
On Sept. 24, John Fawcett, who began his directing career in Calgary, will present his new psychological thriller The Dark at the Uptown.
It stars Maria Bello and Sean Bean.
