At the Toronto International FIlm Festival (TIFF), experimental cinema grows stronger year after year. This year's edition, running from September 7th to the 16th , holds the sixth edition of its Wavelengths programme. Wavelengths (in homage to canadian artist Michael Snow), is devoted exclusively to experimental cinema, in its creator's words, "showcasing works by artists who use the medium as a means of personal expression to explore cinema's unique temporal, tactile, and aural qualities.". Among the works displayed in the programme, there are the new works by Peter Tscherkassky, Matthias Müller, Lawrence Jordan, Cynthia Madansky and Abbas Kiarostami.

Out of programme and in a one time only screening next September 8th, Guy Maddin will premiere his new film Brand Upon The Brain!. The screening, that will have no previous press pass or follow-ups, ill be shown with a live narrator, two on-stage foley artists, a castrato, and an 11 instruments orchestra, conducted by the composer of the film music, Jason Staczek. Brand upon the brain! is defined as a film in "equal parts childhood reminiscence, expressionist horror movie, teen
detective serial and Grand Guignol reverie". You may find more details in the press kit.
