It's been a pretty rough last few days with the passing of Robert Towne, Donald Sutherland and Shelley Duvall. I didn't note the passing of Towne or Sutherland in this space because to the best of my abilities, I could not find an instance where either of those two legends attended any edition of the Telluride Film Festival.
Shelley Duvall, however, was a frequent guest of the early days of TFF. Again, as best that I can tell, Duvall was in attendance at TFF #2 (1975), TFF #7 (1980) as the fest paid tribute to Robert Altman and screened McCabe and Mrs. Miller, Brewster McCloud and Thieves Like Us and , finally, TFF #8 (1981).

STILL WONDERING...
News this week that Sony Pictures Classics had picked up Nora Fingscheidt's The Outrun starring Saorise Ronan. I had speculated back on June 3rd that perhaps TFF might program it and couple it with Steve McQueen's Blitz. However, with the news that Blitz would World Premiere at the London Film Fest blew that theory up.
But...with SPC picking up the film and dating it for an Oct. 4th release, maybe it still ends up at The SHOW. Here's what I'm thinking at the moment. The fest tributes Ronan, screens The Outrun and maybe shows clips or a scene from Blitz.
Oh, and just to be a tease...I got a tip from a good source that one of the Ten Bets is confirmed for Telluride. I'm not at liberty to cite the source nor name the film but I can tell you that it has appeared on all four lists of Bets thus far.
