AFI NAMES TEN BEST (PLUS ONE)



The American Film Institute named their ten best films for 2018 on Tuesday:

TFF #45 earned one spot on the list for Yorgos Lanthimos' The Favourite.  TFF #45 entrant Roma was named as the recipient of a special award as it was not eligible for the top ten list per AFI rules.  TFF #44 film First Reformed was also named to the AFI Top Ten list.  That could bode well for Roma as the last time the AFI named a film for a special award was in 2011 for eventual Oscar Best Picture winner The Artist.

First Man and Can You Ever Forgive Me? both missed out.

The complete list:

BlacKkKlansman
Black Panther
Eighth Grade
If Beale Street Could Talk
The Favourite
First Reformed
Green Room
Mary Poppins Returns
A Quiet Place
A Star Is Born

Special Award: Roma

Here's coverage from Indiewire.



THE PLAYLIST 100



The annual review of their 100 most anticipated films for the new year came down for The Playlist earlier this week and, as you might expect, I have culled the list for films that seem like they should be on our radar for TFF #46.

The staff specifically mentions Telluride as a possible destination for only three films:

#39: Pale Blue Dot (now titled: Lucy in the Sky)
#26: The untitled Noah Baumbach project
#11: The Last Thing He Wanted

Among the other 97 films listed, the following are the ones that seem to me to be most likely:

#100: The Glorias: A Life on the Road
#91: Resistance
#79: My Zoe
#66: Mainstream
#64: Against All Enemies
#63: The Woman in the Window
#59: The Trial of the Chicago 7 (not likely as production has been delayed)
#52: Motherless Brooklyn
#40: The Goldfinch
#34: You Are My Friend (Now titled: A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood)
#33: Antlers
#30: Ema
#29: Waiting for the Barbarians
#24: The King
#20: Radegund
#19: Bergman Island
#17: The Truth
#15: The Laundromat
#13: Triple Frontier (off the list, release dated for Mar. 13th)
#7: Little Women
#2: The Irishman

The complete list of 100 films (plus some honorable mentions) from The Playlist is linked here.


That's all she wrote for this Golden Globes Thursday...more on Monday.
