TEN BETS #2 FOR TFF #44
Here we are on a Friday in July once again which means it's time for our weekly update of my list of ten films that seem, at least at this point, the most likely to play as a part of this year's Telluride Film Festival.
Last week's first attempt looked like this:
1) Loveless
2) A Fantastic Woman
3) Wonderstruck
4) Visages/Villages
5) The Florida Project
6) Downsizing
7) You Were Never Really Here
8) 120 BPM
9) The Rider
10) Battle of the Sexes
The Next Bets, in no particular order of likelihood: Happy End, Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri, The Current War, Loving Vincent, Lean on Pete, Redoubtable, Spoor.
In light of bits and pieces of information, here's this week's Ten Bets:
1) Wonderstruck
2) Loveless
3) Visages/Villages
4) Battle of the Sexes
5) Downsizing
6) The Florida Project
7) A Fantastic Woman
8) The Other Side of Hope
9) 120 BPM
10) You Were Never Really Here
Other films bubbling just below these Ten Bets:
The Rider, Happy End, Three Billboards Outside of Ebbing, Missouri, The Current War, Loving Vincent, Lean on Pete, Redoubtable, Spoor.
WONDERSTRUCK CENTERS NEW YORK AND...
The New York Film Festival announced yesterday that Todd Haynes' Wonderstruck will be their Centerpiece this year on Oct. 7th. Of special note to Telluride followers was the note in the announcement from the Film Society of Lincoln Center that the film would be presented as its New York premiere.
That implies that the film will have played previously as a North American and U.S. premiere somewhere else. My conclusion...it plays Telluride.
And additional coverage of the selection by the NYFF from Indiewire.
In light of this announcement, I moved Wonderstruck up to the number one spot in today's Ten Bets as you can see above.
A TRAILER FOR CALIFORNIA TYPEWRITER
One of last year's sort of underground hits at TFF #43 was the documentary California Typewriter. The film acts as a love letter to the machine and the people that still love to use them. The film is being distributed by Gravitas Ventures and The Playlist reports that it has a domestic release date of August 18th.
The trailer, however, is out and here it is from YouTube:
That's a wrap for this Friday and this week. More to come on Monday.
