We're getting closer to this year's Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) and there are intriguing feature films, documentaries and shorts from Africa and the diaspora to look forward to this year.

In it's 43rd year, TIFF seeks to continue to change the way people see the world through film. Some standouts coming from the continent to look out for are Nollywood veteran Genevieve Nnaji's directorial debut, another riveting work from South Africa's Jahmil X.T. Qubeka, a crop of films from North Africa and more.

Check out the films, with synopses from TIFF below.
