INDIEWIRE LISTS: TOP 50 OF 2020



Indiewire posted its list of  the best 50 films of 2020 according to the 200+ critics they surveyed.  That story was posted on Jan. 5th.  Among the 50 films were five films from either TFF #46 or the TFF #47 list of films that would have played the fest.  Here's where those five films landed:

#27 Ammonite
#22 The Assistant
#6 Beanpole
#3 First Cow
#1 Nomadland




INDIEWIRE LISTS: CONTENDERS FOR BEST INTERNATIONAL FEATURE




Meanwhile, Indiewire's Anne Thompson published an updated selection of what she considers the frontrunners for the Best International Feature Oscar.  Among her frontrunners are three films that would have been screening in Telluride last Labor Day had the fest occurred. 

Thompson's list included:

Charlatan
Apples
Notturno.

The four other frontrunners she names include Another Round, I'm No Longer Here, Collective and My Little Sister.
