CalArts filmmakers Joshua Gen Solondz (Film/Video MFA 16), Mike Stoltz (Film/Video MFA 14) and Program in Film and Video faculty Rebecca Baron present films at this year’s Toronto International Film Festival, as part of the Wavelengths Program — described by the festival as “films that expand our notions of cinema.” The festival screens 392 films on 28 screens from Sept. 4-14.
Wavelengths highlights “performativity in both the landscape and the social sphere,” Solondz’s 4-minute 2013 short Against Landscape screens on Wavelength 1: Open Forms. His film, a work of land art, “challenges the romanticization of West Coast scenery.”
Stoltz’ Under the Atmosphere is a wistful tribute to his childhood home near the site of NASA’s Kennedy Space Center. The 15-minute 2014 short screens on the Wavelengths 2: Something in the Atmosphere, a collection of films that explore “something in the atmosphere, slightly amiss, uncomfortable, and, in some cases, surprisingly alluring.”
Baron’s 29-minute, 2014 film Detour de Force will be presented on Wavelengths 3: Tales Told, a program that includes films with stories that are “delayed, reconfigured, substituted, even falsified, which presciently speak to the present.” Known for her film essay work, Baron’s Detour captures a portrait of “thoughtographer” Ted Serios, a hard-drinking Chicago bellhop who was able to produce hundreds of Polaroid images from his mind during the 60s.
Tickets go on sale on Aug. 31.
