Madonna’s sophomore effort as a director, W.E., relates the love story between King Edward VIII and Wallis Simpson.

Eddie Vedder and company get the documentary treatment in Cameron Crowe’s Pearl Jam Twenty.

Toronto will stick the grunge theme and pay hommage to Canadian rocker Neil Young with Jonathan Demme’s Neil Young Journeys.

The festival runs through September 16 and will screen more than 300 films from more than 60 countries.
