A couple months ago, Basil Tsiokos wrote a much-discussed list of Do and Don't for documentary filmmakers, drawing upon his experience as a programming associate for the Sundance Film Festival and other events. Here he highlights the docs he's most anticpating at TIFF:
There are so many documentaries in the TIFF line-up that I'm excited to see next month, but here are the ones that immediately leap out:
I'm very curious to see what did and didn't make the cut for the censors of the self-elected MMPAA (Mormon Motion Pictures Association of America) in Cleanflix - plus it's always nice to see hypocrisy exposed.
I love a good mystery, and by taking place in the domain of high art, The Art of the Steal sounds like it's rife with potential for exploring the intersections between greed and culture.
Unfinished films and their promise of what could have been hold an endless fascination for me, so L'Enfer de Henri-Georges Clouzot is definitely on my must-see list.
Also, though I have already seen it, I wanted to note that Ahead of Time (pictured) is an excellent portrait of a captivating subject whose story should be more widely known.
