TIFF 2011: Apichatpong Weerasethakul, James Benning and Our Own Blake Williams Among Wavelength Programmes

Due to time constraints and reader importance, it’s the section I regrettably avoid during the film festival, but that’ll likely not be the case in 2011 as Wavelengths 4 features the latest work from our very own Blake Williams. His Coorow-Latham Road falls under the programme heading of “expanding spatial possibility through a consideration of inner and outer spaces, of varying cartographies and aesthetic patterns.” Among the heavyweights in Andréa Picard’s Wavelengths, we have Apichatpong Joe’s latest and it might feel like 2010 again, but James Benning and Thom Anderson are returning to the programme (note: Anderson is one of the smokers in Benning’s Twenty Cigarettes).

Here’s the link for the works that make up the five Wavelength programme descriptions.
