FRANCE 2 CINEMA
I continue the procession through European film production companies that have had a filic presence at Telluride festivals lately as a means to assessing what films could play there this year and today's examination focuses on France 2 Cinema.
Here's their recent track record at TFF:
2011: The Kid with a Bike
2010: The Princess of Montpensier
2009: Farewell, Inferno, Coco Before Chanel, A Prophet
Prior to that I can't find any other films prior to 2004.
As you can see, a big year for France 2 Cinema in 2009 with 4 films then just one in 2010 and 2011. What's got Telluride potential on the F2C plate:
Olivier Assasyas' "Something in the Air", Walter Salles' "On the Road", Alain Renais' "You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet" and Jacques Audiard's "Rust and Bone".
All are real possibilities with "Rust" and "Something" the more likely (I think).
Tomorrow: France 3 Cinema.
NEW VIEW OF DJANGO
Quentin Tarantino's "Django Unchained" continues its steady drip of publicity with the release of a new TV spot that grabbed a good deal of attention the last few days. Here it is:
Here are a few posts with details:

PASSION
There has been a little thought that Brian DePalma's new film "Passion" might be available for fall festivals including Telluride (though I'm dubious that it will be either ready or Telluride bound). The Playlist posted a new image from the film with comment here:
SERGE RETURNS?
Serge Bromberg is a frequent guest at Telluride with various and sundry restoration projects. Last year he presented the restored "A Trip to the Moon" and 2009 saw "Inferno".
Now, a little twitterverse trivia seems to indicate that he'll be back in Telluride this year and likely with Cahrlie Chaplin material in tow. Sounds intriguing...
More later...
