TORONTO -- Mark Brokaw's Spinning Into Butter, which stars and was produced by Sarah Jessica Parker, will open Tonya Lee Williams' Reel World Film Festival on April 2, organizers said Thursday.

The Canadian festival will close April 6 with Kaushik Roy's South Asian drama Apna Asmaan (My Own Sky).

Also booked this year is U.S. director Reed McCants' Cuttin' da Mustard, Jennifer Sharpe's romantic comedy I'm Through With White Girls, Brian Petersen's Coyote and Charles Burnett's "Namibia: The Struggle for Liberation."
Canadian features at Reel World include Samit Brar's A Tune For Her and The Limits, Ben Mazzotta's long-awaited drama about four outcasts that converge in a seedy motel.
The Reel World Film Festival is set to run April 2-6.
