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).
In a weak competition year such as this one, Apichatpong Weerasethakul's Uncle Boonmee claiming the Palme d'Or isn't that much of a surprise as everyone might think it to be. Of the two screenings I saw with the jury as part of the audience, the first thing I did was take a look at Tim Burton's reaction.
