TIFF confirms "The Master," adds Spike Lee film

LOS ANGELES (TheWrap.com) - Spike Lee's Michael Jackson documentary "Bad 25," Walter Salles' "On the Road" and Brian De Palma's "Passion" have been added to the lineup at the 2013 Toronto Film Festival, TIFF organizers announced on Tuesday.

New films by Harmony Korine, Lee Daniels, Susanne Bier and Pablo Trapero have also been added, while Paul Andrew Williams' "Song for Marion," with Terrence Stamp and Vanessa Redgrave, has been named the festival's closing-night film.

Also on the list of additions is Paul Thomas Anderson's "The Master," as TheWrap reported on July 30. The film will screen in 70mm, a format that is a passion of Anderson's.

The announcement of three new galas and 18 new special presentations completes the programming in both of those festival sections, according to TIFF Artistic Director Cameron Bailey.

The festival also announced programming in the Contemporary World Cinema, Future Projections and Wavelengths sections, as well as its slate of industry programming.

The Contemporary World Cinema section includes new work from such acclaimed directors as Yousry Nasrallah, Sergei Loznitsa, Ulrich Seidl, Brillante Mendoza and Jo Sung-hee, as well as "The Fitzgerald Family Christmas" from American director Edward Burns.

The Future Projections program is a city-wide collection of art installations and cinema, with work from Ming Wong (recreating scenes from "Chinatown"), Kelly Richardson (creating a Martian dust storm in the Royal Ontario Museum) and gender-bending Canadian singer and performance artist Peaches. It also includes a new, 57-minute film from Cannes winner Apichatpong Weerasethakul.

The Wavelengths section will consist of four thematic shorts programs and seven features, consisting of avant-garde film and video, both narratives and documentaries. Participating filmmakers and artists include Thomas Demand, Francesca Woodman, William E. Jones and Luther Price.

Industry programming will include a "master class" with director Olivier Assayas, sessions with producer Jeremy Thomas and Channel 4's Tessa Ross, and a wide array of panels and dialogues. The full slate can be found at tiff.net.

Additional programs will be announced over the next week, with the lineup completed and the TIFF schedule revealed on August 21.

The festival begins on September 6 with an opening-night premiere of "Looper," and runs through September 16.
