France 3's best shot at TFF #43 is the animated Ma Vie de Courgette (My Life as a Zucchini). It's actually a pretty reasonable shot after its successful debut at the Annecy Animation Film Festival.
Here's the poster for the film:

NYFF OPENER IS A SURPRISE
It was all over the internet yesterday that the New York Film Festival had chosen Ava DuVernay's documentary The 13th to open that fest on Sept. 30. Reports list it as the film's world premiere which means a couple of things for readers of this space, First, we know that it won't be playing Telluride-it's "world" premiere status tells us that. Second, it might open the door to Telluride for some other major films that could have conceiveably played that opening night slot for NYFF.
The film focuses on the discriminatory nature of the American justice system.
Last year's opener was Robert Zemeckis' The Walk.

A VENICE TIDBIT
As I mentioned yesterday, the announcement for the lineup for Venice's Film Fest is two weeks from tomorrow. We may have learned a bit more via Twitter yesterday as a couple of tweets suggested that Tom Ford's Nocturnal Animals (Focus Features) will world premiere there.
That follows news from a month ago that Damien Chazelle's La La Land will open the Venetian soiree.
The Venice shot for Nocturnal Animals does not preclude a play at Telluride as it has become fairly common for a number of films to play both fests. Last year eight films played both: Oscar winner Spotlight, Beasts of No Nation, Anomalisa, Black Mass, Heart of a Dog, Marguerite, Winter on Fire and Taj Mahal. In 2014 Oscar winner Birdman, 99 Homes, The Look of Silence and The Price of Fame played the same duet.
Nocturnal Animals is set to open in the U.S. on Dec. 9.
Tis all for this Wednesday. More tomorrow...
