the art of cinema.” TIFF has also announced their new slate of City to City features.
The 2015 edition of Wavelengths “features a seductive mix of master filmmakers, award-winning artists and emerging, new talent,” including Miguel Gomes’ three-part “Arabian Nights,” new films from Nicolás Pereda and Mark Lewis, restored archival prints of films by Paul Sharits and by Philippe Garrel, along with a “major” new installation from Apichatpong Weerasethakul.
