TEN FILMS THAT COULD BE FUTURE TELLURIDE-BOUND



I am constantly scouring the interwebs for films that are in development or announced that might end up being Telluride choices.  The details that catch my interest can be varied but include a heavy emphasis on directors and distributors.  With that in mind, here are ten films culled over the last six months or so that could be a part of Telluride's  lineup over the next two or three years.  (Of course, NONE of these could end up there as well).   In no particular order:

1) "Werk Ohne Autor" from Florian Henckel Von Donnersmarck:
