  • Save
With the Toronto International Film Festival just around the corner, three new program lineups have been announced today- Midnight Madness, Tiff Docs, and International Short Cuts.

Of course, I’m always most interested in the Midnight Madness section to see what genre goodness will be offered, but be sure to take a look at the full list below and update your watch lists accordingly. Highlights include James Franco‘s The Disaster Artist, Ryuhei Kitamura‘s Downrange, and Hélène Cattet, Bruno Forzani‘s Let The Corpses Tan.
