MTFB SPECIAL: NEWS FRO TORONTO, NEW YORK AND VENICE
TORONTO
Based on premiere designations with the big announcement yesterday of Galas and Special Presentations, I believe we conclude that these films will be screening at TFF #51:
Anora
Conclave
Emilia Perez
The End
The Piano Lesson
All We Imagine as Light
Misrecordia
Better Man
Don't Let's Go to the Dog's Tonight
Piece by Piece
The Friend
It also looks like these films, which I have had as a "Bet" or a possibility will not be at T-ride:
Bird*
Oh, Canada
Hard Truths
I'm Still Here
* A note here on Bird. TIFF.net posted on X that it's a Canadian Premiere but its info page at the TIFF website says North American. I tend to believe the website. Thanks to an eagled-eyed reader for pointing out the inconsistency.
From X:
TIFF will still be naming other titles for specific sections this week.
NEW YORK
The New York Fest announced RaMell Ross' Nickel Boys will open their fest on Sept. 27th. The actual announcement did not include any reference to the premiere status for the film which could indicate that the film could make an appearance at Telluride. After all, if it were a World Premiere I think that NYFF would be shouting that from the rooftops.
On the other hand, the post on X from NYFF does use the word "premiering":
I don't know that it absolutely guarantees it for TFF #51, but the door is certainly open.
VENICE
As always with Venice, the inclusion of a film among their announced titles doesn't guarantee a Telluride play but also doesn't preclude one. So Venice titles listed here are films that I think have a shot at playing both fests.
The Room Next Door/Almodovar
Queer/Guadagnino
Maria/Larrain
Babygirl/Reijn
Harvest/Tsangari
Allegorie Citadine/Rohrwacher and JR
Separated/Morris
One on One: John and Yoko/Macdonald and Rice-Edwards
The real hint about what, if any, films play both fests will be when Venice posts their schedule and then we'll see what they have scheduled early enough for a film and some its entourage to get across the Atlantic in time to screen at Telluride.
