COUNTRY MUSIC AT THE RYMAN
We've been following the growing anticipation for Ken Burn's newest documentary on the history and reach of country music in America. We have known that the 8 part series will kick off on PBS on Sept. 15th. I have been thinking for some time that we'd have a good chance to see some of the doc at TFF #45. Now, I have a guess as to how that will happen and what form it might take.
I knew that the Doc's crew had recorded an evening of performances and reminiscences at The Ryman Auditorium (home of The Grand Ole Opry) in Nashville on March 27th. I had assumed some of that footage would make its way into the doc and perhaps it will. What I also discovered over the last day or two is that PBS is going to air the concert on Sept. 8th-a week before the full doc hits the network.
So, my guess at this point is that Telluride attendees have the chance the concert footage during Labor Day weekend.
I tumbled across the news in an article describing the concert from SoulCountry.net. That article, which is fairly detailed in its description of the evening, is linked here.
FOCUSING ON TORONTO AND VENICE
I was reminded in a couple of places since Tuesday's post that we will begin to get some very serious insight as o films and which fests will have what in less that three weeks now. Toronto makes the first of its multiple announcements on June 23rd. That set of films will give us clues in terms of which films we've been tracking will likely play Telluride first and which ones won't play TFF at all. It's not a comprehensive list, however as the Toronto organizers will continue to roll out new announced films the four weeks following their initial announcement on June 23rd.
Venice announces on June 25th. Over the past few years, the Venetian announcement has served as a flag for films that could still play both in Venice and Telluride. Last year as astounding nine films shared screenings in both places. We'll get more clues about what this year's group of films that will be shared when Venice announces its actual screening schedule.
Stay tuned...
That's MTFB for the Fifth of July 2019. I'll have more on Monday.
