Ten films have been announced as part of the Toronto International Film Festival’s brand new sidebar “City-to-City.” The first installment focuses on Tel Aviv. I have added all ten into the mix on my chart.
Today’s other announcements don’t get factored into the chart, but are just as exciting (actually, for me, quite a bit more). In Future Projections, we’ll be getting video installations and sculptures from the likes of Isabella Rossellini, Apichatpong Weerasethakul, Lisa Steele and Kim Tomczak, Christopher Doyle, and more. Sounds like great filler for meal breaks, missed screenings, etc.
All, there will be event in Yonge-Dundas Square, including a Zombie Walk for the geeks, and Neil Young for the baby boomers (+ more).
Also, Resnais’ Les Herbes Folles and Vallee’s The Young Victoria both picked up distribution in the last couple of days, and have been moved from the points section of the chart down to the Distribution section. I am generally going to try to avoid films with distribution deals, but I won’t promise that I won’t try and sneak into a screening of the Resnais, especially considering that its release could take a year like Lorna’s Silence did.
