INDIEWIRE"S TOP 20 and TFF




Indiewire's Eric Kohn has posted his selection of the 20 best films for 2020 and the list contains films that played at TFF #46 as well as films that were on the TFF #47 announced list.  TFF films that were on Kohn's list are:

#12 The Assistant (TFF #46)
#7 The Climb (TFF #46)
#4 Nomadland (TFF #47)
#1 First Cow (TFF #46)




SUBMISSIONS ARE IN FOR OSCAR'S INTERNATIONAL FILMS




The deadline has come and gone for submission for International Film Oscar submissions.  As you might expect, some TFF #47 choices were submitted.  Gregory Ellwood of The Playlist has handicapped the field and among the more likely players for an Oscar nomination in his assessment are these TFF #47 selections:

Apples/Greece
Charlatan/Czech Republic
Notturno/Italy
Never Gonna Snow Again/Poland
