A24 IS LOADED
As I continue to review various distributors that have had a significant presence at past Telluride Film Festivals I marvel at how many possible films A24 has in play. A24 appeared on the Telluride scene in 2012 with Ginger + Rosa. Since then A24 has been a consistent player at TFF:
2012-Ginger + Rosa
2013-Under the Skin
2015-Room
2016-Moonlight
2017-First Reformed, Lady Bird, Lean on Pete
2019-Uncut Gems,Waves, First Cow
2021-C'mon C'mon, Red Rocket
So, as you can see, not every year but most years and the last three times A24 has landed multiple films at T-ride. Likely they're going to get multiple films in this year too as the A24 larder is brimming with intriguing possible choices. In alphabetical order with director listed (***indicates a film on my first "Ten Bets" for the fest posted last Monday):
Aftersun/Wells***
Close/Dhont***
Jerry Lee Lewis: Trouble in Mind/Coen
Red, White and Water/Neigebauer
Showing Up/Reichardt***
Stars at Noon/Denis
Tuesday/Onunis-Pusic
The Whale/Aronofsky
White Noise/Baumbach***
That's nine possibles and doesn't count fairly high profile titles from Joanna Hogg (The Eternal Daughter), Ari Aster (Disappointment Blvd.) or Alex Garland (Civil War).
You can also see that I have four of the nine listed in the first Ten Bets. I'm betting big on A24 for TFF this year.
RUIMY LOOKS AT TELLURIDE
Jordan Ruimy at World of Reel has stepped into "figure out Telluride" mode with a post from yesterday. His first review of what could come very kindly sources MTFB for some of the post. However, Jordan does mention additional titles that I don't necessarily have in my Top Ten at the moment or in the additional "maybe titles" (see below).
Ruimy includes the potential for the following to be at TFF #49:
Todd Fields' TAR
Scott Cooper's The Pale Blue Eye
Sebastian Lelio's The Wonder
Luca Guadagnino's Bones and All
Darren Aronofsky's The Whale
Martin McDonagh's The Banshees of Inisherin
Make no mistake here. I have almost all of these titles in my "be aware of it" list for a possible play at TFF #49 with the exception of McDonagh's Banshees of Inisherin. If you're an MTFB reader, do yourself a favor and check out World of Reel from time to time. Jordan is great at sussing this stuff out.
