TORONTO - Jake Gyllenhaal, Daniel Radcliffe and the late Cory Monteith are among the stars of Canadian features headed to this year's Toronto International Film Festival.

Organizers revealed a star-packed slate from homegrown directors including Denis Villeneuve, Michael Dowse, Jennifer Baichwal, Louise Archambault, Bruce McDonald and Xavier Dolan.

They include Monteith's ensemble drama "All The Wrong Reasons," a debut feature from writer/director Gia Milani that also stars Emily Hampshire, Kevin Zegers and Karine Vanasse.

The late "Glee" star plays an ambitious department store manager married to Vanasse's character.

Villeneuve returns to the fest with "Enemy," a Canada/Spain co-production starring Gyllenhaal as a man torn between his mistress and his wife. That's in addition to his Hugh Jackman thriller "Prisoners," a U.S.-backed feature previously announced for the fest.

The Toronto International Film Festival runs Sept. 5 to 15.

"The scope of this year's feature films is as broad as Canada's filmmaking community and demonstrates the deep versatility of our filmmakers," senior programmer Steve Gravestock said Wednesday in a release.

"From clever, biting satire to intimate social commentary, powerful dramas and even a truly magical comedy, the settings and themes vary, but the perspectives are always uniquely Canadian."

Dowse follows up last year's hockey romp "Goon" with the romantic comedy "The F Word," a Canada/Ireland co-production starring Radcliffe, Zoe Kazan, Adam Driver and Canadian actress Megan Park.

McDonald's "The Husband," is about a man struggling to keep it together as his wife is released from jail for sleeping with a 14-year-old boy and Dolan's "Tom At The Farm" is a Canada/France co-production about a young advertising copywriter who travels to the country for a funeral.

Jennifer Beals, meanwhile, appears in Terry Miles' "Cinemanovels," which stars Lauren Lee Smith as a woman who prepares a film retrospective for her late estranged father, while Archambault's "Gabrielle" centres on a young woman with Williams syndrome struggling to gain her independence.

And Baichwal collaborates with Edward Burtynsky for the documentary "Watermark," about our relationship with water.

Previously announced Canadian features in the gala program include Jonathan Sobol's "The Art of the Steal," Don McKellar's "The Grand Seduction" and Jeremiah Chechik's "The Right Kind of Wrong."

Also at the festival:

-"Sarah Prefers To Run," directed by Chloé Robichaud, about a gifted runner who marries a friend in order to be eligible for lucrative university scholarships and loans,

-"The Animal Project," directed by Ingrid Veninger, about an acting teacher who tries to push a group of young performers out of their comfort zones,

-"Empire of Dirt" directed by Peter Stebbings, about a young native woman determined to break free from her troubled past,

-"Siddharth," directed by Richie Mehta, about an Indian man who sends his 12-year-old son away to work but later fears he may have been taken by traffickers,

-"Gerontophilia," directed by Bruce LaBruce, a romantic comedy about an 18-year-old who discovers he has an unusual attraction to the elderly,

-"Triptych," from Robert Lepage and Pedro Pires, about a schizophrenic bookseller, a singer and actress, and a German neurologist.

Meanwhile, the shorts section includes an eight-minute film from Cassandra Cronenberg, daughter of directing giant David Cronenberg. Her experimental film "Candy" is billed as "a convention-busting portrait of human transactions" including love, sex, money and art.
