There are over three-hundred films screening at this year's
Toronto International Film Festival, and one of them is artist
Matthew Barney's "
Drawing Restraint 9." Toronto audiences are most likely a very select lot to see this film, which will probably never be released on DVD due to the particulars of how Barney's art is produced, but will -- hopefully -- see a future limited release in theaters. The abstract and visually magnificent film (one part of Barney's Drawing Restraint Series that has its roots via the
21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art in Kanazawa, Japan) will travel to a limited number of festivals and will be a part of his larger "Drawing Restraint" exhibitions in Japan, Korea, San Francisco and a yet-to-be-disclosed site in Europe. Those lucky audiences will have the chance to see the latest work from Barney, who
The New York Times calls, "The most important artist of his generation." Barney is seen here following an interview with
indieWIRE's
Eugene Hernandez at the Park Hyatt in Toronto Saturday afternoon.
