Gianfranco Rosi's Notturno
Michael Dweck and Gregory Kershaw's The Truffle Hunters
According to Indiewire's Anne Thompson, the IDA will announce nominees on Nov. 24th and winners will be announced via a virtual ceremony at some point in January 2021.
BEE GEES DOC IS DATED BY HBO
Frank Marshall's documentary about the Bee Gees, The Bee Gees: How Can You Mend Broken Heart, which was a TFF #47 selection has been scheduled by HBO and HBO Max. Deadline reports that the film will drop on HBO on Dec. 12th at 8:00pm (EST) and that it will also be available to stream on HBO Max.
HBO also released a first trailer for the film this past week. Here that is from YouTube:
TIDBITS
Among this Monday's "Tidbits"...
The Cannes Film Festival has announced three separate contingency plans for re-scheduling should Covid conditions in France require that they move off their currently scheduled (and traditional) dates in May (11-22). Variety reports that Cannes organizers are eye-balling three different sets of dates in July and August.
AND... Searchlight Films have grabbed a new film in development. Currently titled Dust, the film has Clare Foy attached to star at the moment. I include it into today's post for a couple of reasons:
1) Searchlight and Telluride have had a really good relationship over the years...sooo...maybe a future TFF selection. and
2) The film is set in the dust bowl of 1930's Oklahoma. Yea...that's right...the film is set 90 years ago in my backyard. HELLO SEARCHLIGHT...Location shooting? Call me. Extras in the area: Give me a ring-a-ding. Research co-ordination: Hello??? I mean Guymon, OK. is literally the heart/bullseye for the Dust Bowl. My only actual IMDb entry is the special thanks for Ken Burns' The Dust Bowl. The wife and I did some location scouting and co-ordination.
And, by way of proof, the screenshot of my Dust Bowl credit from IMDb:
That's Monday...BTW...if you haven't already...vote tomorrow.
