Hunt to debut at Toronto festival

Helen Hunt Oscar-winning actress Helen Hunt is to make her directorial debut at the Toronto Film Festival.

Then She Found Me, in which Hunt also stars, will be screened at the Canadian festival, which runs 6-15 September.

She plays a New York teacher whose life gets complicated when her husband leaves her, and the mother she never knew comes back into her life.

The film - co-starring Bette Midler and Matthew Broderick - is one of five new films joining the festival bill.

The others are John Sayles' Honeydripper; Actor Richard Roxburgh's Romulus, My Father; Craig Gillespie's Lars and the Real Girl and Proof writer David Auburn's directing debut The Girl in the Park.

Lars and the Real Girl stars Oscar-nominated actor Ryan Gosling as a social misfit who becomes enamoured with a life-size doll.

The Golden Age, the British sequel to the 1998 Oscar nominated movie Elizabeth, will also have its world premiere at the festival - widely regarded as the North American launch-pad for Oscar contenders.
