Wavelengths, the avant-garde programme of the Toronto International Film Festival, is currently seeking new works for its 8th edition, to take place over the opening weekend of TIFF from September 5 through 8, 2008. In recent years, this programme has featured works by Peter Hutton, Daichi Saito, Ute Aurand, Heinz Emigholz, among many others, and has become a unique forum for international film and video within the context of a large, international festival.

As the series is considered curated, there is no official submission process, no forms to fill out and no entry fee. All previews should be sent by June 3rd directly to:

Wavelengths, TIFF
Attention: Andréa Picard
2 Carlton St, suite 1600
Toronto, ON  M5B 1J3

Tel: 1.416.934.3208

Please contact me in advance if you prefer to send a film print for preview. Other than prints, previews
will not be returned to the filmmaker, unless they are picked up in person or the return shipping is pre-arranged.

Only successful candidates will be notified (by mid-July at latest).

Wavelengths strides to provide a thoughtfully curated platform for avant-garde film and video within one of the busiest and most diverse festivals in the world. Building on its past successes, Wavelengths is presently looking for new works, as well as recent restorations of seminal works from the avant-garde. Presentation formats include Super 8, 16mm, 35mm, digi-beta, mini-DV and betacam PAL and ntsc. Programming suggestions are equally welcome.
