THE SIXTH TELLURIDE FILM FESTIVAL-1979
We're slowly edging closer to the end of my series about the history of the Telluride Film Festival with today's re-visitation of the Sixth Fest which ran from Aug. 31-Sept. 3, 1979.
My plan (fingers crossed) is have this series completed prior to the start of TFF #45 and the new Expanded Telluride History page on this blog up and accessible by that time as well. We'll see if that actually happens.

TRAILERS FROM BURNING, COLD WAR AND THE SISTERS BROTHERS
Trailers were released this week for two critically acclaimed Cannes #71 films that will be a part of our early summer TFF #45 speculation- Burning and Cold War as well as a trailer for a film that many thought would be a Cannes invitee, Jacques Audiard's The Sisters Brothers which, due to Audiard's past with Telluride has to be considered a possibility for Telluride as well.
I have included them here all via YouTube.
Burning is first up. The film from Lee Chang-dong was the runaway critical darling of Cannes yet received no award from the Palme d'Or competition jury.
Cold War from past Oscar winner and TFF #40 participant Pawel Pawlikowski:
And from Audiard's The Sisters Brothers:
FIRST LOOKS AT BOY ERASED
Joel Edgerton's Boy Erased is one of two "Boy" pictures floating around my TFF #45 possibles list (the other being Beautiful Boy).
The film is a fact base story of a family forcing a son into gay conversion therapy and stars Nicole Kidman, Russell Crowe and Lucas Hedges.
A number of outlets debuted stills from the film earlier this week such as the one above.

That's a wrap for this Thursday. More to come on Monday and have a great Memorial Day weekend!
