COW TRAILER
The header for this story is funny..."Cow Trailer". Hahahahaha. now then, Andrea Arnold's Cow has a trailer and here it is:
FILM INDEPENDENT SPIRIT AWARDS
The Film Independent Spirit Awards were handed out on Sunday. Maggie Gyllenhaal's The Lost Daughter had an exceptional evening winning Best Feature, Director and Screenplay. TFF #48 selection Red Rocket was also recognized for Best Actor with Simon Rex winning that award. The complete listing of all Spirit Awards winners is linked here from The Hollywood Reporter.
GUILD AWARDS: ART DIRECTORS, ACE: EDDIES
The Art Directors Guild named their winners for 2021 films this past weekend. No TFF #48 films made their lists. Film winners were Nightmare Alley, No Time to Die, Dune and Encanto.
The American Cinema Editors (ACE) named TFF #48 film King Richard edited by Pamela Martin as the Best edited dramatic feature film of 2021. Other winners included: tick, tcik...BOOM, Summer of Soul and Encanto.
MORE CANNES SPEC
What will be the 5-8 films that will debut at Cannes and then make their first North American appearance at TFF #49? Obviously we won't know until Thursday, Sept. 1st but that can't stop us from thinking and predicting and hoping. Variety's Elsa Keslassy was up last Thursday with a Cannes speculation/prediction piece and so let's parse that for titles that might be candidates for The SHOW.
James Gray's Armageddon Time/Focus Features
Florian Zeller's The Son/SPC
George Miller's Three Thousand Years of Longing UA/MGM
David Cronenberg's Crimes of the Future/NEON
Kelly Reichardt's Showing Up/A24
The Dardennes Brothers' Tori and Lokita/TBD
Hirokazu Kore-eda's Baby, Box, Broker/TBD
Ali Abassi's Hamlet/TBD
Meanwhile, Wes Anderson's latest, Asteroid City, is reportedly foregoing Cannes for Venice. After last year's TFF "Sneak" of The French Dispatch, perhaps Anderson books a second straight film at TFF and they make the Venice to Colorado trek that has become very popular over the past several years. Last year The Power of the Dog, The Lost Daughter, Spencer and The Card Counter and other films made that journey.
