For the first time in ten years, Wayne Wang returns to the low-budget filmmaking that made him a leader in the American independent cinema movement with A THOUSAND YEARS OF GOOD PRAYERS and THE PRINCESS OF NEBRASKA, two tales about the experience of Chinese immigrants in the United States screening as part of Masters.  This year’s Masters will feature a complete line-up of 20 films.

The 32nd Toronto International Film Festival is proud to announce a Special Event at which Hollywood great Peter Bogdanovich (THE LAST PICTURE SHOW) will be presented with the International Federation of Film Archives (FIAF) Award for his contribution to film preservation. He has chosen to screen Jean Renoir’s historic gem LA GRANDE ILLUSION (1937) as an example of the importance of film restoration.

The Festival is a presentation of The Toronto International Film Festival Group (TIFFG), a charitable, not-for-profit, cultural organization whose mission is to transform the way people see the world. Its vision is to lead the world in creative and cultural discovery through the moving image.

    “as does Renny Harlin - and has there ever been a less deserving director than Harlin?”

    Heh.  Guy Ritchie got a Gala Treatment for REVOLVER!

  2. Kurt Halfyard 08/22/2007 @ 10:18am

    Also, Am I right in concluding that there are two JOY DIVISION related films at the festival this year?

    -Grant Gee’s JOY DIVISION (documentary)
    -Anton Corbijn’s CONTROL (biopic)

  3. Raku 08/22/2007 @ 2:15pm

    I heard that mongol is gonna be there.

  4. Todd Brown 08/22/2007 @ 2:33pm

    Mongol was announced earlier.

    And Guy Ritchie’s made some good films, at least.  I’m hard pressed to think of a decent Harlin film.

  5. Kurt Halfyard 08/22/2007 @ 4:02pm

    Sorry, I’ve a soft spot for Long Kiss Goodnight and parts of Deep Blue Sea.  Everything else is total crap.
