Lists and Lists / Seeing The Way I See It

LISTS AND LISTS

I've done all the comparisons and have what I believe to be an accurate list of where the announced TFF #47 films would have or will be playing as far as other film fests are concerned.  This, of course, does not include films (save for Nomadland) that have yet to be announced for the New York Film Fest.  I'm expecting we'll have that information this week.  It will also be interesting to see what's announced for and if films are announced for the BFI/London Film Fest as well as the American Film Institute Film Fest.


Here's the rundown of all of the TFF #47 films that have other film fest connections at this point:


Ammonite:TIFF, Cannes
Charlatan: Berlin
Concrete Cowboy: TIFF
The Duke: Venice
The Father: TIFF, Sundance
Fireball: TIFF
Ibrahim: Cannes
Mainstream: Venice
Mandibules: Venice
MLK/FBI: TIFF
Never Gonna Snow Again: Venice
Nomadland: TIFF, Venice, NYFF (centerpiece)
Notturno: TIFF, Venice
There Is No Evil: Berlin
The Truffle Hunters: Cannes, Sundance

So 15 of the 29 TFF #47 feature titles have been chosen by other major film fests.



SEEING THE WAY I SEE IT



After the reveal that Dawn Porter's The Way I See it, a documentary about former White House photographer Pete Souza, Focus Features has released a trailer as well as a poster (as you can see above).  The IMDb description for the film is as follows:

"Former Chief Official White House Photographer Pete Souza's journey as a person with top secret clearance and total access to the President."

Frequent Telluride Film Fest guest/visitor Laura Dern is among the producers of the film.

Here's the newly released trailer via YouTube:



Focus is saying that the film will be released in theaters in September.
