Telluride #39 Isn't Over/Another 2014 Oscar List

ONLY TWELVE HOURS LATE, BUT HERE IT IS...

Good Thursday.

TFF #39 ISN'T OVER

Films that were are a part of The SHOW lineup in 2012 are still rolling out and making news as they do.  Just this week we've seen the first trailer for Sarah Polley's very well received documentary "Stories We Tell".  I've posted a couple of stories that accompanied that film's roll out from The Playlist as well as Rope of Silicon:

As you cab see ROS writer Brad Brevet thinks "Stories" is already a Best Doc contender for next year's Oscars.

I've posted the trailer from YouTube:

Another documentary that got a lot of attention at TFF #39 was Dror Moreh's "The Gatekeepers" which was Oscar nominated but dropped to "Searching for Sugarman".  Moreh has been a gadfly as he has been promoting the film.  I've linked interview's with the director from Vice and PBS:
