Telluride analysis:
These categories, if the FAC were 100% accurate, would result in:
3 additional nominations for Moonlight
3 additional nominations for Manchester by the Sea
1 additional nomination for La La Land
1 additional nomination for Arrival
with Sully and Bleed for This adding an additional possible nomination.
The major eight categories when added to last week's First FAC for Best Picture, Director, Actress and Actor give us the following totals:
6 nominations for Manchester by the Sea (Picture, Actor, Director, Supporting Actress, Supporting Actor and Original Screenplay)
5 nominations for La La Land (Picture, Director, Actress, Actor and Original Screenplay)
5 nominations for Moonlight (Picture, Director, Supporting Actress, Supporting Actor and Original Screenplay)
1 nomination for Arrival (Adapted Screenplay) with a chance at 3 more
No nominations for Sully but it's in the convo for a possible 3 nominations
1 possible nomination for Bleed for This
Overall, that's 17 nominations for TFF #43 films with another 7 possibilities and, of course, The FAC won't begin to look at other categories for some time yet but expect some additional nominations for TFF #43 films their as well. As a matter of fact, if you made me, I'd guess that La La Land is going to end up in double digit nominations and will probably be the nomination leader when those are announced on Jan. 24th.
FIRE AT SEA HAS A U.S. TRAILER
Fire at Sea (Fuocoammare) Gianfranco Rosi's Golden Bear/Berlin award winning documentary about the European refugee crisis and which played at TFF #43 a few weeks ago has a new U.S. trailer. The film is set for U.S. release on Oct. 21 in a limited fashion and then will expand from that point. Fire at Sea is being distributed by Kino Lorber. Here's the trailer from YouTube:
And, for good measure, here's coverage of the new trailer release from Alex Billington's FirstShowing.net as well as The Film Stage
NEW FILM ANNOUNCED FOR INARRITU AND LUBEZKI
Alejandro Inarritu has had a strong relationship with cinematographer Ernest Lubezki (Birdman, The Revenant) as well as a real love affair with Telluride (Babel, Biutiful, Birdman) so when a new project is announced involving Inarritu and Lubezki, Telluride fans should take notice.
Which is to say, that the two visionaries have just announced plans to work on a virtual reality short film that would be centered on the crossing of immigrants from Mexico into the United States.
The project doesn't yet have a title but that's of little import. Of greater interest is the question of whether Inarritu returns to T-ride after having missed the fest last year when The Revenant was not ready for a Labor Day rollout.

That'll do for this Thursday. More coming on Monday, have a great weekend.
