Stacked 2013 Venice Edition Includes Latest Miyazaki, Ki-Duk, Ming-liang, Dolan and Frederick Wiseman

With still several films not yet announced for the behemoth Toronto Int. Film Festival,  it appears that 2013 will be a significant cross-over year for Venice titles (Joe, Night Moves, Parkland, Philomena, Tracks, Under the Skin) landing in the Canadian capitol and from the get-go, it appears that Toronto programmers have indeed stole some of the thunder from the Alberto Barbera’s Lido, specifically in the case where they grabbed world premiere rights to Steve McQueen’s 12 Years A Slave with the Fox Searchlight folks possibly looking to keep the film on North American soil. However, for the time being that are titles that are worth salivating over that will be making their preems on the Lido – along with a grab bag of Euro and Asian titles we have the highly anticipated showings for  Hayao Miyazaki’s Kaze Tachinu, Tsai Ming-liang’s Stray Dogs, Xavier Dolan’s Tom a la Ferme (see creepy looking pic of Dolan who also acts in his film) and Terry Gilliam’s The Zero Theorem. In the docu items that will certainly surface at Telluride and TIFF, we find  Errol Morris’ The Unknown Known: The Life and Times of Donald Rumsfeld (Main Comp) and Out of Comp docs such as Frederick Wiseman’s  At Berkeley – and Alex Gibney’s The Armstrong Lie (freshly picked up by SPC). Worth mentioning is Greg McLean’s Out of Comp slot for Wolf Creek 2 – which joins mention worthy items such as Kim Ki-Duk’s latest and the Alfonso Cuarón opener Gravity. Here’s the complete selection for the 70th edition.
