Your best possible Telluride players from this include:

Madres Paralelas/Almodovar
The Power of the Dog/Campion
The Card Counter/Schrader
Spencer/Larrain
The Hand of God/Sorrentino
Dune/Villeneuve
The Last Duel/Scott

The next nugget of info from Venice that will aid us will be when they release the screening schedule.  We already know that Almodovar's Madres Paralelas opens the fest on Sept. 1 and believe that Dune will screen Sept. 3rd.  For a film to make the trans-Atlantic jump from Venice to T-ride, realistically the last date it could play Venice and make it to Telluride is that Sept. 3rd date.  Maybe Sept. 4th. but that'd be a real stretch.



OFFICAL TRAILER FOR ALMODOVAR'S MADRES PARALELAS 

With the announcement this morning of the lineup for the Venice Fest also came the release of a teaser trailer for that Fest's opening night film: Pedro Almodovar's Madres Paraleas.  I think it snads a good chance to play at TFF #48.

Here's the teaser from YouTube:




CHARLATAN TRIALER RELEASED

Agnieszka Holland's Charlatan was a choice for last year's cancelled TFF #47.  The film officially released in the U.S, over this past weekend.

Here's the trailer for it from YouTube:
