Given the relative youth of the discipline, performance studies has remained steadfast in delimiting its objects as those that are live—shared air performance—and not bound by textuality; only recently has the discipline considered the mediated, but still solely within the circumscription of shared air performance. The cinema, as cultural object, permeates our lives—it is pervasive and ubiquitous—it sets the bar for quality acting, and shapes our expectations and ideologies. The cinema, and the cinematic text, is a complex performance whose individual components combine to produce a sum greater than the total of its parts. The cinema itself is a performance—not just the acting—participating in a cultural dialogue, continually reshaping and challenging notions of liveness, made more urgent with the ever-increasing use of digital technologies that seem to further segregate what is generally considered real performance from the final, constructed cinematic text.

    August 23, 2017 .NEWS RELEASE. TIFF BELL LIGHTBOX’S FALL SEASON FEATURES MASTERS OF STYLE AND ICONS OF RESISTANCE Season highlights include groundbreaking series celebrating black stardom, resistance in Filipino cinema and Soviet silent cinema’s radical creativity; retrospectives on Andrei Tarkovsky, Denis Villeneuve and Sofia Coppola; and in-person appearances by Johnnie To and Kidlat Tahimik Ivan’s Childhood, Courtesy of the Film Reference Library TORONTO — With TIFF's Fall 2017 lineup, you can have both substance and style. Our autumn season of retrospective screenings, new releases, learning programmes and events follows two key themes: cinemas of resistance and the pleasures of film style. Spanning the globe and from the beginnings of cinema to right now, Fall at TIFF offers audiences many ways to deepen and broaden their perspectives through film. TIFF Cinematheque presents retrospectives on some of the most exciting filmmakers working today — Denis Villeneuve, Sofia Coppola and Johnnie To — who will be in attendance to introduce Election (2005), Election II: Harmony is a Virtue (2006), The Mission (1999), and King Hu’s Dragon Inn (1967). The first retrospective of Russian master Andrei Tarkovsky in Toronto in 15 years will also be presented; it will include limited runs of the slow-burning stunner Solaris (1972) and sci-fi classic Stalker (1979). Kidlat Tahimik, the grandfather of the Philippine New Wave, will also have a retrospective of his work shown as part of this season’s Wavelengths year-round programme. Tahimik will be in attendance to introduce Balikbayan #1 Memories of Overdevelopment Redux IV (2015), The Perfumed Nightmare (1977), Why is Yellow Middle of the Rainbow? (1984–94), and Turumba (1981).
