Jolie’s latest film “Without Blood,” which she wrote and directed, is making its world premiere at the festival.

The war drama, adapted from Alessandro Baricco’s novel of the same name, centres on a young girl seeking revenge for the murders of her father and brother.

Salma Hayek Pinault and Demián Bichir star in the lead roles.

TIFF also plans to toast Toronto filmmaker David Cronenberg with the Norman Jewison Career Achievement Award, Cate Blanchett with the Share Her Journey Groundbreaker Award and Amy Adams with a performer’s prize at the Tribute Awards.

TIFF’s 49th edition is set for Sept. 5 to 15.
