Indiewire's Ryan Lattanzio wrote a piece that went up on Sunday afternoon...after passes went on sale for TFF #47. Of most import to MTFB readers was the inclusion of some title speculation for this year's iteration of TFF. Some of those titles you've seen consistently in this space. Some are new...
Among the films mentioned in the article:
Mank
Nomadland
Hillbilly Elegy
Dune
Minari
Passing
I was able to purchase mine after a tense few minutes and a couple of hiccups. That means that my wife and I will be attending our 15th consecutive fest.

You may notice that friend of MTFB Chris Schiller's tweet about the pass sale made the article.
GOLD DERBY LOOKS AT OSCAR 2021...
I've been dipping into the early Oscar speculation for the coming year as a way of gathering clues fro films that could also be on the lineup announcement for TFF #47 six months from now. Gold Derby's look is among the most thorough around and provides us with a multiplicity of candidates to consider.
Their 2021 preview provides release date info, director and distributor. All of those items can help as we try to sniff out some Telluride potentials.
