Mountains May Depart, together with Hong Kong director Johnnie To's film -- Office -- were among the 49 special presentations titles announced Tuesday at
the Bell Lightbox, the TIFF headquarters in downtown Toronto, Canada, as the
initial portion of the estimated 300-film lineup in September, mostly world,
international or North American premieres.
""We are celebrating our 40th anniversary in 2015 and this first round of films offers a taste of the incredible lineup at this year's Festival,"" said
Piers Handling, CEO and director of TIFF. "" Made by both established and
emerging filmmakers from around the world, these films offer a global snapshot
of our times.""
""This year we are thrilled to share a diverse array of filmmakers from Australia, India, France, China, the United Kingdom and the USA,"" said Cameron
Bailey, artistic director of the film festival. ""We look forward to sharing
these fantastic films with Toronto audiences -- the most engaged and
enthusiastic in the world.""
Starring Chow Yun Fat, Sylvia Chang, Eason Chan and Tang Wei, Office, the movie, is set to make its international debut in Toronto. The movie is an
adaptation of the theater play by Sylvia Chang of Taiwan.
For its North American premiere, Jia's Mountains May Depart jumps from the recent past to the speculative near-future as it examines how China's economic
boom has affected the bonds of family, tradition, and love.
Earlier in July, it was announced that Jia will lead the inaugural jury for TIFF 2015's Platform, a new program to champion film directors' works from
around the world.
This year's Toronto film festival will open with Demolition, starring Jake Gyllenhaal and Naomi Watts, and with Jean-Marc Vall e, who is from Quebec, as
director, according to Piers Handling, the CEO and director of TIFF.
Valle is not the only Canadian director to be featured at the festival. Other well-known Canadian filmmakers are in the spotlight too. Toronto-based Deepa
Mehta's Beeba Boys, about gang violence among young Indo-Canadian men, will be
highlighted, as will be Remember, another film by director Atom Egoyan, also a
longtime friend of the festival.
After a strong showing at Cannes, the film Sicario by French- Canadian director Dennis Villeneuve will have its North American premiere at TIFF 2015.
The film, starring Emily Blunt and Benicio Del Toro, is about a young FBI agent
drawn into a violent war on drugs on the U.S.-Mexican border.
And Gyllenhaal is just one of the many A-list stars who have become fan favorites at the Toronto festival. After her Oscar- winning turn in Still Alice,
Julianne Moore will walk the red carpet again for Freeheld, a movie she stars in
alongside Canadian Ellen Page. The film focuses on the real-life love story and
fight for justice by two New Jersey women and is likely to be especially
poignant in a year where same-sex marriage became legal in the United States.
Benedict Cumberbatch fans may get a chance to see their idol for a third year in a row: the British actor is expected to attend the festival as part of the
star-studded film Black Mass. Directed by American Scott Cooper, the mob
thriller co-stars Johnny Depp, Kevin Bacon and Joel Edgerton.
Festival-goers can also expect to catch a glimpse of Matt Damon and Jessica Chastain. After co-starring in Insterstellar, the actors are back in space in
iconic director Ridley Scott's new film The Martian.
The Toronto film festival, which was founded in 1976, now is seen as one of the most prestigious film festivals in the world. Organizers are expected to
unveil more of its lineup in the next few weeks for the 40th festival, which
runs Sept. 10-20.

THUMB RULE 1 keep in mind, when you walk into a new city every seller is out there to extract the maximum out of you (that includes your taxi drivers, hotel
bills, restaurant bills, watch out for pick pockets etc). And if you are a
foreign national you’d be overcharged for everything starting with a matchbox.
THUMB RULE 2 Learn the art of bargaining and always be on guard. Planning the financial aspects of your trip and figuring out how much money you are going to
need is an important part of any backpacking experience. By crunching some
numbers, you will have a better idea about how much money you need to save up to
make your trip possible. A financial plan is essential for the success of your
trip. Your travel budget should be considered long before you leave. Knowing
approximately how much money you will need gives you an idea about how much you
will need to save. You must set a goal well in advance so that it can be reached
by the time of your departure. Planning ahead for your budget isn’t very
difficult. Consider the following expenses:
. AirlineRailwayBus ticket . Transportation in and around the country . Accommodations . Food . Sight-seeing and museums . Incidental expenses
PLANNING YOUR BUDGET To figure out how much money you will need, you must first consider where it that you are traveling to is. Most of India is
inexpensive, but there are places that will be a little heavy on your pocket.
Mumbai, somewhere in Delhi, and Chandigarh are some of the expensive places. On
the flip side, you can live and travel in parts of Rajasthan for a couple of
hundreds a day.
Next, break down your expenses into two parts the initial costs and daily costs. Initial costs include your airline ticket, your backpack, hostel card,
guidebook and all other equipment that you have to purchase before leaving.
