[Frameworks] WAVELENGTHS 2012

[Stephen Broomer]

Dear Frameworkers,



Please find attached the press release for the 2012 edition of Wavelengths
at the Toronto International Film Festival.



Wavelengths, the Toronto International Film Festival’s curated presentation
of the best in international avant-garde film and video expands its reach
with 47 films of various lengths, including in this year’s lineup titles
that would previously have been seen in the Visions programme. The
programme widens its spectrum to include formally inventive, daring
narratives, and documentary features. Four thematic shorts programmes
screen over the Festival’s opening weekend (September 7 to 10), with work
by legendary experimental filmmakers, emerging talent and internationally
renowned artists such as Thomas Demand, Francesca Woodman, William E. Jones
and Luther Price (who also has an exhibition as part of the Festival’s
Future Projections programme).



Longer works screen over the duration of the Festival. Highlights include
Nicolas Rey’s 16mm philosophical fable *differently, Molussia*; the Chris
Marker-esque *The Last Time I Saw Macao *by Portuguese duo João Pedro
Rodrigues and João Rui Guerra da Mata; anthropologist-artist-filmmakers
Lucien Castaing-Taylor and Véréna Paraval’s tour de force portrait of
commercial fishing, *Leviathan*; world premieres by Matías Piñeiro, Joana
Hadjithomas and Khalil Joreige, as well as the Locarno Film Festival’s
double-award winner *When Night Falls *by Ying Liang. Launching with
rapturous cinephile favourites, Wavelengths sets the framework for
experimentation of all kinds at the Festival.



Information on screening dates and more information on individual works can
be found at

Wavelengths avant-garde shorts programmes are screening September 7 to 10
in Jackman Hall at the Art Gallery of Ontario.
