Tom Harper’s “The Aeronauts,” a period drama that reunites “The Theory of Everything” stars Eddie Redmayne and Felicity Jones, is one of more than 80 features and 20 shorts that have been added to the lineup at the 2019 Toronto International Film Festival, TIFF organizers announced on Tuesday.
“The Aeronauts” is one of two new galas, the other being Giuseppe Capotondi’s thriller “The Burnt Orange Heresy,” with Claes Bang, Elizabeth Debecki and Mick Jagger. Other films added to the lineup include new work by Terrence Malick, Hirokazu Kore-eda, Noah Hawley, Olivier Assayas, Trey Edward Shults, Ken Loach and Gael Garcia Bernal.
The two new galas complete that section in Toronto at 20 films, while 16 new Special Presentations bring that section to 55. The additions include Kenny Leon’s “American Son”; Jason Lei Howden’s “Guns Akimbo,” with Daniel Radcliffe and Samara Weaving; Marc Meyers’ “Human Capital,” with Liev Schreiber and Marisa Tomei; Max Winkler’s “Jungleland,” with Jack O’Connell and Charlie Hunnam; Noah Hawley’s “Lucy in the Sky,” with Natalie Portman and Jon Hamm; Trey Edward Shults’ “Waves,” with Lucas Hedges and Sterling K. Brown; and Benedict Andrews’ “Seberg,” starring Kristen Stewart as the French actress Jean Seberg.
The Leon, Howden, Meyers, Winkler and Hawley films will be world premieres, along with Gregor Jordan’s “Dirt Music,” Geetu Mohandas’ “The Elder One” and Aaron Moorhead and Justin Benson’s “Synchronic.”
TIFF’s Masters section, which was announced in full on Tuesday, will include six films that won acclaim at the Cannes Film Festival in May: Malick’s “A Hidden Life,” Elia Suleiman’s “It Must Be Heaven,” Ken Loach’s “Sorry We Missed You,” Marco Bellochio’s “The Traitor” and Corneliu Porumboiu’s “The Whistlers,” all of which were in the main competition, and Bertrand Bonello’s “Zombi Child,” which was in the Directors Fortnight sidebar.
The section will also include two world premieres, Arturo Ripstein’s “Devil Between the Legs” and Alanis Obomsawin’s “Jordan River Anderson, The Messenger.”
A number of other Cannes favorites are also included in Toronto’s expansive Contemporary World Cinema category, including Mati Diop’s “Atlantics,” Ladj Ly’s “Les Miserables,” Kleber Mendonca Filho and Julano Dornelles’ “Bacurau,” Diao Yinan’s “The Wild Goose Lake,” Kantemir Balagov’s “Beanpole,” Gael Garcia Bernal’s “Chicuarotes,” Michael Angelo Covino’s “The Climb,” Maryam Touzani’s “Adam,” and Karim Aïnouz’s “The Invisible Life of Eurídice Gusmão,” which won the festival’s Un Certain Regard section.
Edward Burns’ “Beneath the Blue Suburban Skies” will make its world premiere in the section, as will Irish director Pat Colins’ “Henry Glassie: Field Work” and Atiq Rahimi’s “Our Lady of the Nile,” which will serve as the section’s opening-night film.
TIFF also announced the adventurous Wavelengths section, which will consist of 10 features, two paired screenings and four shorts programs. Directors represented in Wavelengths include Oliver Laxe (“Fire Will Come”), Albert Serra (“Liberté”) and Sergei Loznitsa (“State Funeral).”
The 44th Toronto International Film Festival will kick off on Sept. 5 with the documentary “Once Were Brothers: Robbie Robertson and the Band” and run through Sept. 15.
