FILM FEST HEADS DISCUSS THE FUTURE
A couple of weeks back Indiewire hosted a conversation at Cannes featuring four film festival directors including Telluride's Julie Huntsinger. Other fest directors included were from Sundance, Berlin and New York. The convo was hosted by Indiewire's Anne Thompson.
The focus was the future of film festivals. You can see the entire 44 minute video at Indiewire's website.

AWARDS RADAR UPDATES FOR BEST PICTURE AND TFF POTENTIALS
Joey Magidson of Awards Watch has updates his Best Picture predictions as of the end of the Cannes Film Fest. He lists 25 films in all and in their order of likelihood in terms of being nominated and winning the 2027 Oscar. I've broken those down into various categories as it relates to the potential for a TFF #53 play.
No chance: (Because they already have premiered before Telluride):
#2 The Odyssey
#4 Project Hail Mary
#9 Tony
#11 Disclosure Day
#14 Josephine (Sundance)
#21 The Invite
#24 Wuthering Heights
#25 Michael
Unlikely: (for a variety of reasons):
#1 Dune: Part Three
#6 Digger
#8 The Adventures of Cliff Booth
Smallish chance at Telluride:
#3 Wild Horse Nine
#5 The Social Reckoning
#10 Saturn Return
#12 I Play Rocky
#13 Being Heumann
#16 The Uprising
#17 Behemoth!
#19 Jack of Spades
#20 A Place in Hell
Decent chance at Telluride:
#7 Fjord
#15 Paper Tiger
#18 Clarissa
#22 All of a Sudden
#23 Artificial
