The 35th Toronto International Film Festival is upon us once again. The browning of leaves and shortening of evenings heralds the start of the annual event which this year takes place between Thursday, September 9th and Friday the 19th. In the run up to the 2010 festival we spoke with the Irish filmmakers behind the five projects chosen to screen at the event including 'As If I'm Not There's' director Juanita Wilson; 'Sensation's producer Katie Holly; 'Essential Killing's producer Andrew Lowe; 'Lapland Odyssey's producer Dominic Wright and 'The Pipe's director Risteard O'Domhnaill. Following on from last year's success there will be a strong Irish presence at Toronto again this year. Last year saw seven projects from Irish filmmakers screening at the event and this year Ireland will be represented by five features.
