Paris Hilton has scrapped all but one screening of her new documentary Paris, Not France at the Toronto International Film Festival to create "hype".

The project, which is described as a behind-the-scenes look at Hilton's life, will now be premiered on Tuesday, September 8.

Hilton's representative Jason Moore said earlier screenings were pulled to generate more interest in the film.

"We wanted to create more buzz - create some hype," he told the New York Post. "We felt the impact would be more extreme if we had one screening.

"She is a partner with the documentary and will be attending Tuesday's screening in support of it."

Commenting on the cancellations, festival boss Thom Powers said: "I wish we could do more, but it's better than not showing it at all."
