CANNES MOVING BACK???
Earlier this week, Deadline's Tom Grater reported that the Cannes Film Festival, which looked to be headed to run in July (and perhaps even later as some rumors have it going into late summer) may be backtracking.
Grater reports that Cannes may plan a "pre-screening" event earlier than the planned July dates as a response to industry desires. The Deadline story suggests the possible "pre-screening" would be:
"virtual and will be purely based around industry screenings, without a traditional physical market, and will feature market titles potentially alongside films from the festival selection"
Grater also writes that Cannes is getting pressure from sales agants and French distributors to do the earlier "pre-screenings".
The upshot is that we could be back to finding out at least some of the films Cannes has chosen for whatever version of the actual festival comes to pass and that could give us some Telluride clues.
INTERVIEWS WITH HOPKINS AND POLLARD

Screen Daily published an interview this week with acting legend Anthony Hopkins. Hopkins would have been one of the tribute recipients had a TFF #47 gone off last Labor Day.
Hopkins role in The Father (the TFF and Sundance selection) has earned a good deal of Oscar speculation.
Meanwhile, The Playlist posted an interview with director Sam Pollard whose documentary MLK/FBI, is on The Academy's Feature Documentary Shortlist. MKL/FBI was also a TFF #47 selection.
