We definitely should gain more insight next week with additional announcements from Toronto plus New York's lineup and a schedule from Venice.
L.A. FILM FEST REVEALS ANOTHER POSSIBLE FILM
Within the last week we had announcements from the Los Angeles Film Fest, which has a new date as well as the first wave announcement from Fantastic Fest. I can't divine any real addition or elimination from the FF announcement but it appears that Cannes Un Certain Regard winner Border is probable for Telluride.
The LAFF list tells us that Border will be a "California" Premiere leading me to believe that it will have played somewhere in the U.S. prior to its screening in L.A. 2-3 weeks after T-ride. Thusly, Telluride seems like a good bet to screen the film from director Ali Abassi. Neon is distributing the film in the U.S. Neon distributed Errol Morris' The B Side: Elsa Dorfman's Portrait Photography in 2016 which played TFF #43.
Here's coverage of the Los Angeles announcement from Deadline and Variety.
GIRL HAS A TRAILER
Netflix has released the first international trailer for Lukas Dhont's Girl. The film was very well received as a part of Cannes' Un Certain Regard section and won a series of awards related to that screening including UCR Best Actor for lead Victor Polster.
Here's the video from YouTube:
Netflix hasn't announced a date for release in the U.S. as yet.
I have linked coverage of the trailer release from FirstShowing.
AND SPEAKING OF TRAILERS
I know. I know. Barry Jenkins' If Beale Street Could Talk is destined to screen for the first time in Toronto but when I saw this tweet this morning:
Well, I just had to take a look and if you're so inclined as well...

Makes me sad all over again that TFF #45 won't be screening this.
That's your wrap on MTFB for this week. I'll have more on Monday.
