It's no wonder with so much high-wattage talent coming to Toronto to support
these films: Senegalese pop star Youssou Ndour for Youssou Ndour: I Bring
What I Love
; Olympic gold-medal winner LeBron James for More Than a Game; guitarists Jimmy Page, The Edge and Jack White for It Might Get Loud; artists Chuck Close and Julian Schnabel for Picasso & Braque Go to the Movies; actors Matt Damon and Josh Brolin for The People Speak; and so on.

Meanwhile, today's New York Times has an article titles 'Nostalgia for New
York, by Way of the Toronto Film Festival
' that highlights the docs Every Little Step ( pictured above right which is about the making of A Chorus Line) and American Swing (about the 1970s swingers club Plato's Retreat).

Associated Press writes about LeBron James and his high school basketball team coming to TIFF for More Than a Game in the Toronto Star.
