Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) has announced its Wavelengths programme highlighting visionary work including Dimitris Athiridis’s 14-hour documentary exergue - on documenta 14, and a Classics line-up featuring work from Atom Egoyan and Frederick Wiseman.
The Wavelengths programme comprises 11 features, three shorts programmes, and an in-cinema looped presentation of Egyptian artist Wael Shawky’s Drama 1882.
The features selections includes Cannes entries Viêt And Nam by Trương Minh Quý, Grand Tour by Miguel Gomes and The Damned by Roberto Minervini, and Berlin selection Pepe by Nelson Carlo de los Santos Arias.
exergue - on documenta 14 receives its North American premiere after it first screened in Berlin and follows artistic director Adam Szymczyk as he prepares for a major art exhibition. Whereas the documentary screened in two parts in Berlin, it will unfold over three screenings in Toronto.
Jessica Sarah Rinland’s Locarno selection Collective Monologue gets its North American premiere.
There are two short films from the late Jean-Luc Godard completed before his death, while Classics brings Egoyan’s The Sweet Hereafter and Wiseman’s Essene.
