It's been nearly a year since her split from Brad Pitt.But if she's still harboring any rancor, not a shred of it showed in her face when she hit the red carpet at the Toronto International Film Festival on Monday.The 42-year-old beamed while wearing a slinky black dress at the Canadian premiere of First They Killed My Father, which she's directed, co-written and co-produced.She was joined by her six children, the eldest of whom - son Maddox - was adopted from Cambodia where the film is set, and is one of the movie's executive producers. Joining 16-year-old Maddox were 13-year-old son Pax, 12-year-old daughter Zahara, 11-year-old daughter Shiloh and nine-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne.Kimhak Mun and Sareum Srey Moch, child actors who star in the movie, posed with Angelina and her six children, as well as with Luong Ung, whose story the film tells.First They Killed My Father is adapted from the harrowing 2000 memoir of the same name by Cambodian writer Loung.It recounts her life as a child in the 1970s under the brutal Khmer Rouge, as she and her family struggled to survive the murderous regime of Pol Pot.Luong attended Monday's premiere in a stylish pair of white slacks she'd teamed with an off-the-shoulder black blouse, rounding out the look with black shoes. Angelina shot the movie on location in Cambodia - the country from which she'd adopted Maddox, who's one of six executive producers of the film listed on IMDb. Variety reported Monday that the film will start playing this Friday in 10 American movie theaters, though it's still scheduled to go on Netflix on Friday as well.Angelina adopted Maddox in 2002, three years before she began her relationship with Brad, though Brad later adopted him and he's now Maddox Jolie-Pitt.It was in 2005 that Brad infamously left his first wife Jennifer Aniston for Angelina, and that was also the year Angelina adopted Zahara, whom Brad also soon adopted.Shiloh, Angelina and Brad's first biological child, was born in 2006, and the next year Angelina adopted Pax, whom Brad adopted once he was stateside, owing to a law in Pax's native Vietnam whereby unwed couples couldn't jointly adopt, per People.Brad and Angelina's biological twins were born to them in the South Of France in 2008, six years before the couple started a marriage that ruptured last year.Off the shoulder at the right side, Angelina's premiere dress on Monday featured a sash of black fabric and a nearly full sleeve at the left, plus an asymmetric hem.Balancing on a pair of black heels, she'd slicked her hair back and wound it into a ponytail, accessorizing the ensemble with a pair of drop earrings.Whilst outside at the premiere, Angelina was seen gracefully posing for a selfie with a fan, as well as signing an autograph for another one.Cambodian documentarian Rithy Pahn, one of Angelina's fellow producers on the movie, arrived at the premiere in a black suit, matching black hat and white shirt.Angelina posed affectionately with Rithy, standing behind him with her hands at his shoulders as the two of them smiled for the cameras.The pair seemed to be having a ball on the premiere red carpet, Rithy pointing playfully as Angelina gestured toward herself, bending a bit at the waist.First They Killed My Father had its Cambodian premiere in Siem Riep on February 18, and its American premiere at the Telluride Film Festival in Colorado on September 2.Held at the Princess Of Wales Theatre in Toronto's Entertainment District, Monday's premiere has been part of a chockablock day for Angelina in Canada.She also spoke that day at The Women In The World Canada Summit, where the lineup included none other than incumbent Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.Tina Brown, who went from editor-in-chief of Vanity Fair to editor-in-chief of The New Yorker to founder of The Daily Beast, interviewed Justin, per Maclean's.According to The Canadian Press as run online by The Toronto Star, Angelina said at the Women In The World Canada Summit: 'There’s just so much for all of us to do and the first and foremost is we have to just get the best education.'She's explained: 'With all that’s accessible to us sometimes we get completely overwhelmed and we don’t know what to believe and what to do, so I’m just trying to listen to other women, I’m trying to lend my voice where possible. We all need to do, I think, even more than we’ve ever done because we’re at a very dark time.'
