LOOKING TO CANNES POSSIBILITIES
.jpg)
One of the more common connections that can inform us about potential TFF films is the pipeline between The SHOW and the Cannes Film Festival. It is long and productive relationship. In most years recently Cannes and Telluride have averaged sharing around 8 titles per year. Just this last year the Cannes to Telluride list included Oscar Best Picture and Palme d'Or winner winner Anora as well as other Palme competition films:
Bird
Emilia Perez
The Apprentice
The Seed of the Sacred Fig
From Un Certain Regard:
Santosh
So looking at what is likely/might be at Cannes is an excellent exercise in predicting what could be in the San Juans on Labor Day weekend.
That said, I'm peeking at The Hollywood Reporters' Cannes take from March 10th and it reveals 17 titles as possible Cannes choices that seem to me to have some chance at making the Cannes/TFF double play.
Here they are:
After the Hunt/Amazon-MGM/Luca Guadagnino
Bugonia/Focus/Yorgos Lanthimos
The Chronology of Water/No Distribution/Kristen Stewart
Die, My Love/No Distribution/Lynne Ramsay
The Disappearance of Joseph Mengele/No Distribution/Kirill Serebrennikov
Eleanor the Great/Sony Pictures Classics/Scarlett Johansson
Hamnet/Focus Features/Chloe Zhao
The History of Sound/Mubi/Oliver Hermanus
In the Hand(s) of Dante/No Distribution/Julian Schnabel
Jupiter/No Distribution/Andrey Zvyaginstev
The Mastermind/Mubi/Kelly Reichardt
Musk/HBO/Alex Gibney
Orphan/No Distribution/Laszlo Nemes
Orwell/NEON/Raoul Peck
The Wave/No Distribution/Sebastian Lelio
The Way of the Wind/No Distribution/Terrence Malick
The Young Mother's Home/No Distribution/The Dardennes Brothers
I'll have another look at Cannes possibilities on Thursday.
