The World Film Festival has revealed a schedule of 230 features from established and first-time filmmakers, and plans to pay special tribute to Spanish producer Andrés Vicente Gómez and actors Jon Voight and Sophie Marceau when it returns to Montreal later this month.

Organizers say the program for the 31st edition of the fest will help advance its mandate to ‘promote cultural and cinematic diversity,’ according to a Tuesday press release.

Canada has two entries in the World Competition program, including François Delisle’s romantic drama Toi and director Emile Gaudreault’s dramedy Surviving My Mother — his follow-up to 2003’s Mambo Italiano. Mother, produced by Denise Robert and Daniel Louis, opens wide in Quebec via Alliance Atlantis Vivafilm on Oct. 19. It stars Caroline Dhavernas and Colin Mochrie.

Also screening in the program are the U.S. titles September Dawn, starring Voight and Lolita Davidovich, and the racial drama Spinning Into Butter, which stars Sarah Jessica Parker, Miranda Richardson and Beau Bridges.

World Competition will also feature titles from countries including Germany, Italy, France, Spain and Japan.

Other highlights include the 23 films that will unspool in the First Films World Competition, which showcases works by new filmmakers. U.S. helmer Derrick Warfel’s thriller The Fall of Night, about a burgeoning rock star’s horrific run-in with a rogue prophet and his shadowy sidekick, will have its world premiere at WFF. It will play alongside Canadian titles Finn’s Girl, La logique du remords and Donde Están Sus Historias? and Chinese films including The Orchard, Teeth of Love and Dong Sun.

Meanwhile, WFF will honor veteran producer Gómez by screening four of his films, including 1990’s Oh Carmela and Belle Epoque, which won the best foreign film Oscar in 1994. Thesps Voight and Marceau — whose directorial debut La Disparue de Deauville will also have its premiere at WFF — will be recognized for their contributions to the cinema.

The WFF runs Aug. 23 to Sept. 3.
