Another film premiering in the Special Presentations section is "The Fence," directed by Claire Denis.

"The Fence" stars Matt Dillon and Isaach de Bankole and is based on Bernard-Marie Koltes' play Black Battles With Dogs.
Pablo Trapero's English-language debut film, "& Sons," will also have its world premiere at TIFF. This drama follows a writer who attempts to reconnect with his male progeny, exploring themes of family and reconciliation. The film stars Bill Nighy, George McKay, Johnny Flynn, and Noah Jupe, and is adapted by Sarah Polley from David Gilbert’s novel.
TIFF's last official programme announcement before the 50th anniversary edition included North American premieres for several films, including "No Other Choice," directed by Park Chan-wook, "The Voice Of Hind Rajab," "The Wizard Of The Kremlin," and "Dog 51."

"Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere," directed by Barney Wragg and Brett Morgen, will have a North American premiere at the New York Film Festival (NYFF) in the Spotlight Gala section. This documentary promises to offer a unique insight into the life and music of Bruce Springsteen.
Lastly, "Dog 51" will have a North American premiere at NYFF, but it will screen out of competition. The closing film of TIFF, "Dog 51" is a film that promises to leave a lasting impression.
