“The Age of Shadows” by director Kim Ji-won has been invited to screen under the Special Presentations program at the 41st annual Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF).

“The Age of Shadows” follows members of an independence group in the 1920s as they fight for Korea’s liberation from Japanese colonial rule.

In addition to the historical thriller, Park Chan-wook’s globally-acclaimed production “The Handmaiden” and Kim Sung-soo’s “Asura: The City of Madness” have also been invited to the Special Presentations category, which presents “high-profile premieres and the world’s leading filmmakers,” according to TIFF’s official website.

Taking place Sept. 8-18, TIFF will mark its opening night with the world premiere of “The Magnificent Seven,” directed by American filmmaker Antoine Fuqua, and conclude with Kelly Fremon Craig’s “The Edge of Seventeen.”

Starring actors Gong Yoo from the record-breaking blockbuster “Train to Busan” and Song Kang-ho from the award-winning 2013 film “Snowpiercer,” “The Age of Shadows” is set to open in local theaters in September.
