TIFF Adds Ethan Hawke, Robert Kenner Docs, Announces Masters, Midnight Madness and Vanguard Programs

Following up on last week’s initial program announcement, the 2014 Toronto International Film Festival made more than 40 additions to its line-up today; announcing its first wave of in-competition documentaries, as well as revealing the individual rosters for the celebrated Masters, Midnight Madness and Vanguard programs.

So far this year’s documentary slate, which has not yet been revealed in full, includes “Food Inc.” director Robert Kenner‘s new film about the climate-change, “Merchants of Doubt,” and “Seymour: An Introduction,” the Ethan Hawke-directed character study of the acclaimed pianist and teacher Seymour Bernstein.
