ADDITIONS FROM NEW YORK AND TORONTO
Earlier this week both the New York and Toronto fests added what are probably the last films to their lineups and premiere designations from each give his clues about further films that are lirkly playing Telluride.
From New York, the additions of Making Marie Antoinette and One More Time. Making Marie Antoinette comes from Eleanor Coppola and focuses on, well... the making of Marie Antoinette. One More Time re-visits indie film giant Andre Gregory.
Each film was announced as a New York Premiere which lead to its inclusion on this week's bets.
Toronto indications of Canadian Premieres for Michal Englert and Małgorzata Szumowska's The Idiot(s) and Guy Nattiv's The Liberation, portend a Telluride play for each.
Additionally, TIFF indicates confirmations for Telluride for Bucking Fastards and Wild Horse Nine. New York confirmations are The Debut, Bucking Fastards, Club Kid and Fjord.
And, sadly, it looks like Tom McCarthy's A Statement, a film I was hoping might play at Telluride, will instead World Premiere at the New York Fest. I thought there might be a return to TFF after Spotlight started there in 2015 and ended up with that film winning the Oscar for Best Picture.
