TEN BETS FOR TFF #53, VOL. 1
Well, here it is (Live from the 2026 National Speech and Debate Tournament in Richmond, VA.) the first Ten Bets for 2026 for TFF #53. I'm doing this a little differently than in the past in that I am listing the early versions of the Ten Bets in alphabetical order. In the later going, as we get closer to The SHOW, I'll revert to the traditional ranking in order of what I think the chances are of making a TFF appearance.
So here are the first guesses (10 of them) for films at TFF #53 (in the aforementioned alphabetical order):
The Black Ball
Bucking Fastard
Coward
The Debut
Fatherland
A Long Winter
Minotaur
Paper Tiger
The Story of Documentary Film
Yellow Letters
As the weeks unfold, I'll update every Thursday as new info and rumors swirl. Additionally, as we get closer to Labor Day, I'll also expand the list beyond a mere ten bets.
I'll remind readers that MTFB averages about six correct guesses on each year's initial Ten Bets. I also have to tell you that there are some titles here that I'd be very excited about seeing.
Let the next few weeks tell the story!
WORLD OF REEL ON VENICE TITLES
Jordan Ruimy has a list of possible Venice titles. Many MTFB readers know that each year a number of films play the early part of Venice and then make a blazing trans-continental trip to the San Juans.
From WOR's Venice speculative list, here's my take on what might make the trip:
Bucking Fastard
Here Comes the Flood
Tender Loving Care
Wild Horse Nine
Look Back
The Basics of Philosophy
A Long Winter
Bunker
The Social Reckoning
Elon
