Obsessing about the Telluride Film Festival and the film awards season since 2008!
"The best blog out there for predicting what will be going to Telluride."-Matt Neglia, Next Best Picture
"The Nostradamus of Telluride"
-Tim Appelo, Movies for Grownups
A week ago I debuted the first Ten Bets for the 2023 edition of the Telluride Film Festival. Here's what that looked like a week ago:
1) The Holdovers/Payne
2) May December/Haynes
3) Nyad/Chin and Vasarhelyi
4) Monster/Kore-eda
5) Strangers/Haigh
6) El Conde/Larrain
7) Poor Things/Lanthimos
8) Anatomy of a Fall/Triet
9) The American Buffalo/Burns
10) The End/Oppenheimer
And after a week of additional snooping, here is your latest iteration of MTFB's Ten Bets:
1) The Holdovers/Payne
2) May December/Haynes
3) Nyad/Chin/Vasarhelyi
4) Strangers/Haigh
5) Poor Things/Lanthimos
6) Monster/Kore-eda
7) Anatomy of a Fall/Triet
8) El Conde/Larrain
9) Saltburn/Fennell
10) The End/Oppenheimer
Other possibilities: The Zone of Interest/Glazer, Freud's Last Session/Brown, The Teachers' Lounge/Catak, The Royal Hotel/Green, Rustin/Wolfe, The American Buffalo/Burns, Priscilla/Coppola and Shirley/Ridley.
CHECKING THE DISTRIBUTORS: AMAZON STUDIOS
The sifting through the most common recent film distribution companies that have played Telluride and the guessing game about what that might mean for TFF #50 continues today with Amazon Studios.
Here's their track record at TFF over the past few years:
2022: Wildcat, Good Night Oppy
2021: Encounter, A Hero
2020: All In: The Fight for Democracy
2019: The Aeronauts, The Report
2018: Peterloo, Cold War
2017: Wonderstruck
2016: Manchester by the Sea
So, what might we see?
Three possibilities: Emerald Fennell's Saltburn seems the most likely. A couple of sources have indicated that the film is a hot commodity among the Telluride/Venice/Toronto triumvirate.
Other films are Garth Davis' Foe Michael Showalter's The Idea of You and Maggie Betts' The Burial.
Other Amazon films for 2023 have already been released or screened at Sundance making their play at TFF unlikely.
My assessment of chances for these four films:
Saltburn 40%
The Burial 30%
The Idea of You 20%
Foe 20%
TORONTO ANNOUNCES FIRST FILM
The Toronto International Film Festival announced yesterday that it will World Premiere Taika Waititi's Next Goal Wins from distributor/producer Searchlight. That effectively removes the film from TFF #50 consideration...at least on this blog.
I had Next Goal Wins at a 25% chance of making the Telluride lineup when I did my review of Searchlight films on June 19th.
Two other Searchlight films had better shots at Telluride on that June 16th post-Strangers and Poor Things. Both of those films stayed in today's new Ten Bets.
MTFB made an appearance at Jordan Ruimy's World of Reel yesterday as the blog got cited as Ruimy turned his attention to films that might be possibilities for TFF #50.
A Compass
In addition to the films he cites from MTFB's Ten Bets, Ruimy adds this:
"Maybe we’ll also get some of these: Maestro (Cooper), Priscilla (Coppola), The Actor (Johnson), The Bikeriders (Nichols) and Ferrari (Mann). It all depends on their quality, Telluride head Julie Huntsinger is very nitpicky when it comes to curating her lineup."
All of these would be welcome and interesting choices. Of the five Ruimy lists I think Priscilla is the most likely Telluride play. As a matter of fact, Ruimy's speculation is enough for me to add Priscilla to the "Other possibilities" listing for today's update of the Ten Bets.
The complete Telluride 2023 story from WOR click here.
Venice announces its lineup tomorrow. There is a lot of speculation out there that Bardo, Blonde and White Noise will all be in that announcement. I fully expect that Bardo will make the trek to TFF #49 and Jordan Ruimy/World of Reel is reporting that White Noise will screen for TFF in August. All of which leads me to ask Netflix...why not Blonde at Telluride?
Again, Netflix and TFF programmers, hear my plea...Blonde in the San Juans! Ioncinema's Eric Lavallee suggests the possibility:
"We can finally put to rest all the chatter surrounding this one but we wonder if this could be a premiere title that passes on TIFF for a Telluride and then NYFF showing instead."
Other probable Venice inclusions that could double dip at Telluride: TAR, The Master Gardener, Bones and All, Athena, The Whale and No Bears.
TORONTO FILMS - AN EVOLVING LIST
TIFF is using a drip-drip-drip method of announcing World Premieres that they haven't used before. As that list grows, I will be posting so we know which films are at TIFF and won't be at TFF#49. Those announced to date are:
Green Onions: A Knives Out Mystery
Brother
Bros
On the Come Up
The Woman King
My Policeman
The Fablemans
and Jordan Ruimy at World of Reel says The Greatest Beer Run Ever will also be a TIFF World Premiere. Further, big props to Cameron Bailey and TIFF for landing the WP for Steven Spielberg's The Fablemans.
AND BABYLON?
Word is that Damien Chazelle's Babylon is "Picture locked". MTFB friend Jason Osiason passed that along via Twitter this weekend.:
Now, the buzz has been that Babylon was likely off the board re: fall film fests.
Jordan Ruimy at World of Reel has had his ear to the ground about Babylon and had reported that director Damien Chazelle and Paramount have been at odds regarding the film fest fate of the much-anticipated film. Ruimy has also reported that TFF folk have been aggressive in seeking to screen the film. Assuming that any of this is true, if Babylon is that far down the trail, one assumes that it could be ready for a TFF #49 bow.
Film journalists yesterday received notices of a joint statement of cooperation between the Telluride, Toronto, Venice and New York Film Fests. Here it is:
It's an interesting and perhaps a not entirely unexpected statement from all four fests. It is, also light on any kind of detail in terms of what that cooperation means in a practical sense.
Kris Tapley tweeted about the announcement this way:
"Not entirely sure what this is actually saying beyond vaguely recognizing that there won’t be a crop of films big enough to sustain the usual jockeying for exclusivity."
Writing for Deadline, Tom Grater:
"Traditionally the first port of call for films intending to launch into awards season, the fests are facing major changes to their 2020 editions due to ongoing virus disruption. In a joint statement today the event’s top brass say they are looking beyond the typical competitiveness that exists. It’s not clear exactly how that will manifest, but it may mean less of the typical scrapping to secure the top premieres in the best slots – the events are already planning to scale back their programs this year, and the Oscars being postponed to April 21 for 2021 also puts less pressure on landing those big contenders."
Yesterday afternoon Indiewire's Eric Kohn posted an informative piece about the cooperation announcement that included some clear statements about TFF #47
Kohn says:
1) Francis Lee's Ammonite will play TFF:
"Kate Winslet-starring lesbian drama “Ammonite,” a Cannes 2020 selection set to open this year from Neon, is slated at both Telluride and TIFF"
2) Documentary Notturno from Fire at Sea director Gianfranco Rosi will also play Telluride:
“Notturno,” a documentary from Oscar-nominated filmmaker Gianfranco Rosi set in the Middle East, will also hit the quartetof fall festivals with eye towards making its way into the documentary Oscar race."
3) Kohn says Telluride will be smaller and have considerable overlap (see below regarding average overlap):
"Both TIFF and Venice have already announced significant curtailing to their usual vast lineups, with 50 movies playing in each. (TIFF usually programs over 300.) Telluride and New York also will have smaller lineups and don’t utilize specific premiere policies, but they have been looking at many of the same titles in the programming process. Even without a specific mandate to combine forces, considerable overlap would be inevitable."
4) Telluride's Town Council is set to vote on the Film Fest proceeding on July 15th:
"And Telluride faces a vote from the Colorado mountain town’s city council on July 15 to determine whether it can hold the event at all"
5) Venice and Telluride may co-premiere some films:
"The festival heads jointly declined to comment for this story. However, sources said that Venice was ambivalent about whether official “collaboration” between the festivals would impact a change to its premiere policy, since it comes first in the calendar. However, the festival was exploring the possibility of hosting joint premieres timed to take place simultaneously in Telluride."
6) Kohn suggests that virtual Telluride screenings are a possibility:
"The programming heads debated the merits of holding virtual editions if physical gatherings become impossible; for the moment, all four festivals are exploring ways of combining physical and virtual aspects of their programs. That led to conversations about the ideal online screening platforms, safety standards, and protocols for handling filmmaker and industry guests, should choose to travel."
So... perhaps more overlap between fests? For Telluride and Toronto that overlap has averaged 17.8 films per year over the past five years. For New York it's 7.6 films per year and for Venice it's been 7.0 films per year.
As a parenthetical note I'll remind everyone that Indiewire suggested a few weeks back that Telluride would make some details known about its approach to their festival in "mid-July". The above assessment from Kohn suggests that we'll find out some details after the town council votes on the 15th.
ANOTHER FEST GOES DOWN
Austin, TX. based Fantastic Fest has announced that it will not have a 2020 event due to Covid-19 . The fest was originally scheduled for Sept. 24-Oct. 1.
The Cancellation of the fest is notable for Telluride observers as its announcement of titles each year would often provide information that allowed confirmation of a film for Telluride inclusion or exclusion.
Though the fest's press release says that the organizers have decided that a virtual event will not occur with new films, there will be a "Celebration of Fantastic Fest" online that will provide events online to highlight the festival's past.
Fest organizers have pledged that Fantastic Fest will return in 2021.
The Venice Film Fest will be scaled down this year. Variety reporting on Tuesday that the venerable film fest will screen 50-55 feature films with their announcement of what films will be playing revealed on July 28th.
Other items...they'll have two outdoor venues and will scrap some normal sections of their fest.
It will be interesting over the next few weeks as we hear from both Venice and Toronto what they will be screening and how the status for each film is characterized.
As a side note, in a separately published interview with Variety Venice head Alberto Barbera reveals that David Fincher's Mank isn't ready which Barbera implies is a reason that it won't be at Venice, may blow a big hole in my "Netflix surprisingly plays films at Telluride" theory.
Hello Thursday...Wednesday was a busy day and night at the MTFB Ranch...
It's unusual to have two big Telluride related stories break the same day...and then a third...but it happened yesterday. We'll start with the last one first...
TORONTO CHANGES COURSE...SORT OF...
Scott Feinberg broke the story late yesterday afternoon at The Hollywood Reporter: The Toronto International Film Festival was backing down and reversing its premiere policy that they established last year and which was clearly aimed at Telluride.
Feinberg reported that TIFF will allow films that play Telluride to play during the first four days of their fest but with a caveat: NOT IN ANY OF TIFF'S THREE LARGEST VENUES.
So film makers still have a price to pay should they opt to play T-ride prior to a TIFF presentation.
Left uncertain was whether TIFF would continue their "honest premiere" status in terms of categorizing the films they chose to play.
That uncertainty was addressed in a post from Steve Pond of The Wrap a bit later in the day. The Wrap reporting that TIFF will retain that portion of their policy. Of course, to place films in a smaller venue or later in their week, they'd still need to require film maker's disclosure about whether the film was going to appear at Telluride and The Wrap story indicates that TIFF will continue to announce that actual status when they announce films for their lineup.
Many in the media reported it as a "reversal" and I suppose, strictly speaking it is. To me it seems rather more insidious than the original position TIFF took last year. T-ride films still get "punished" with relegation to smaller venues or later in the TIFF schedule and they still have to reveal their Telluride plans. Further, TIFF comes off looking as if they have "backed down". Pete Hammond of Deadline.com called it "clever", seeming to agree with my feeling here.
And many could fairly say, vis-a-vis the "honest premiere status", "Come on, Mikey, that's exactly what you do." And that makes some sense...sort of.
What I actually have done, up until last year, was detective work, guess work...
Last year's and now this year's TIFF policy allowed anyone to easily deduce a number of films that would play Telluride and many much bigger media fish than I did just that.
I think it's fundamentally a different animal all together for me to scurry about and out bits and pieces together and make some educated guesses as opposed to the spoiler party that TIFF announcements brought and will bring.
That's my take anyway...
Here's reporting on the new TIFF policy from Variety and The Guardian:
Normally, this would have been your MTFB lead today...The announcement came via email yesterday morning. We have poster artist and we have a poster AND IT IS COOL:
Here's the actual announcement from the Telluride FIlm Festival:
42ndTelluride Film Festival presented by National Film Preserve LTD., proudly announces illustrator Laurent Durieux as its 2015 poster artist. Telluride Film Festival’s prestigious annual gathering for film industry insiders, cinema enthusiasts, filmmakers and critics takes place every Labor Day weekend in the picturesque town of Telluride, Colorado. The 42nd edition of TFF will run September 4 – 7, 2015.
“It’s a great honor for me to have been asked to design this year's poster for the Telluride Film Festival,” said Durieux. “To be associated with so many great names of graphic design and fine arts is, on its own, something I will cherish for a very long time. I am a big cinema enthusiast too and as such, it certainly was a thrill to work on a poster for a film festival of this calibre. My image for the poster is a tribute to the work of the great Edward Hopper whose work, like mine, is very cinematic. I came up with what I hope to be my own take of his painting, New York Movie (1939), by giving it a surreal twist and a dash of modernity to it. The way Hopper used shadows and lights has had a big influence on my work in general and he certainly has on this poster. I love nature too and so, naturally, I look forward to attending the festival and discover all the wonderful things this place has to offer!”
“We first noticed Laurent’s work when he created the art for Criterion Collection,” commented Telluride Film Festival executive director Julie Huntsinger. “DVD jacket and one-sheet design is an art-form unto itself; capturing the mood of the film with one image. Laurent has done the same with this year’s poster. He’s managed to conjure the feeling and atmosphere of Telluride Film Festival with one breathtaking shot. It’s simply stunning.”
Durieux joins a prestigious list of artists who have shared their talents with Telluride Film Festival. Past poster artists include Christian Marclay, Dean Tavoularis, Ed Ruscha, John Mansfield, Julian Schnabel, Dottie Attie, Doug and Mike Starn, David Lance Goines, Chuck Jones, David Salle, Alexis Smith, Jim Dine, Seymour Chwast, Frederic Amat, Francesco Clemente, Dave McKean, Gary Larson, Chip Kidd, John Canemaker, Mark Stock, Laurie Anderson, William Wegman, Ralph Eggleston, Maira Kalman and Dave Eggers.
42nd Telluride Film Festival posters will be available for purchase throughout the four-day Festival or by visiting the TFF website atwww.telluridefilmfestival.org.
"SUFFRAGETTE" HAS NEW TRAILER AND OPENS LONDON FEST (PLUS OTHER CLUES)
The Sarah Gavron film "Suffragette" was all over the interweb yesterday with the announcement that it would open the BFI London Film Festival the first week of October. That announcement coupled with the above mentioned poster announcement kept me busy much of the day.
"Suffragette" seems like a very good candidate for Telluride's lineup. Even the LFF announcement yesterday could be seen as stoking the fire of its possibility. A number of the film outlets that I follow reported that the film's LFF screening will be its "European Premiere" (though at least one claimed it would be a "World" premiere...which makes a lot of difference).
If it is the "European" premiere, that implies a number of things...that it will NOT have played Venice but that it will have "World" and "Internationally" premiered other places prior to its bow in London on Oct. 7. We can infer then that it is almost certain to play Telluride and/or New York and Toronto seems a given.
Additionally, I'd point out that last year's LFF opener was "The Imitation Game" which managed to first be seen in Telluride.
Another note, director Sarah Gavron's "Brick Lane" (her last feature) played Telluride in 2007 complete with her appearance.
"Suffragette" was also produced, in part, by Pathe' and Film4, both of which have had their share of films play Telluride Pathe' most recently last year with the sneak inclusion of "Escobar: Paradise Lost" and Film4 was a part of the "Mr. Turner" production group).
All of that would likely make you think it's a 90% certainty to play...ummm...nope.
"Suffragette" is being distributed in the U.S. by Focus Features (Gavron's "Brick Lane" was distributed by Sony Pictures Classics) and their T-ride footprint has been smallish. Here's their Telluride list from the past dozen years:
2003: Lost in Translation
2004: The Motorcycle Diaries
2005: Brokeback Mountain
2006: Catch a Fire
2012: Hyde Park on Hudson
So, though I personally would love to see this film make the Telluride lineup...let's not count on it.
Here's the new trailer:
"Suffragette" Trailer via YouTube
And a good deal of the coverage tat accompanied the announcement and the trailer drop yesterday:
You know, if you've been reading this blog over time, that I have been following the development of William H. Macy's directorial debut "Rudderless" since before Macy was attached to the project. That obsession continues. It was rewarded yesterday as Macy tweeted that the film (which will be released on Oct. 17) had an official poster and that the trailer would be dropping next week. Producers Unified Pictures also promised in their own tweet that there are other "fun surprises" in store. Very exciting.
As you can see above, I have included the poster and will let all know when the trailer drops next week.
TORONTO'S NOT AS BIG THIS YEAR
Toronto will announce a number of additional Galas and Special Presentations on Tuesday and earlier this week I had written that we could expect 7 Galas and another 20-30 Special Presentations to be announced.
Yesterday, "Rich" reminded me via comment to the blog that Toronto has said that those sections will not be as large this year. After the comment showed up, I remembered that I had read that in couple of places along the way this summer. "Rich" says TIFF will top out at 18 Galas (so five more) and fewer Special Presentations.
Good to know...makes Tuesday's upcoming announcement even more interesting.
BEST OF THE WEEK
TEN (PLUS) BETS #7
We're down to three weeks and counting until we lift off the 41st Telluride Film Festival.and the anticipation is growing. Each day I'm scouring the interweb and looking/listening for sources to come forward to dig out the best guess at what the lineup will be. We should add more clarity on Tuesday as Toronto is scheduled announce another raft of films including, I believe, their additional Galas and Special Presentations. If past trends hold we can expect another seven Galas and anywhere from 20-30 more Special Presentations. That info should give us even more insight into Telluride's unannounced lineup.
At any rate, here's last week's "Ten Bets plus Two"
***Sony Pictures Classics just announced late yesterday that they were partnering with Participant Media for the release of "Merchants of Doubt". That is almost enough to lift it to the #16 spot for this week's "Ten (Plus) Bets". I've included links to a number of reports about the partnership including the first from Screen Daily which claims it IS headed to Telluride:
The jury is still out, but I'd like them to show up:
"Slow West"
"Suffragette"
"A Most Violent Year" "Kill the Messenger"
Big 'uns that have no announced film fest as yet (and maybe won't at all):
"Fury"
"Unbroken"
"Big Eyes"
"Interstellar"
"Exodus: Gods and Kings"
VIEWS OF "ROSEWATER"
Over the weekend Entertainment Weekly put out two photos from Jon Stewart's "Rosewater" starring Gael Garcia Bernal as real life journalist Maziar Bahari who was arrested in Iran in 2009 as he was reporting the election in that country. Any number of outlets reported the photos with an accompanying story. We believe fairly strongly that "Rosewater" will make the Telluride lineup owing to its designation by the Toronto film fest as a Canadian premiere.
Here are those photos:
Stories/Posts that went with these photos this weekend:
We have our first photos of Tim Burton's "Big Eyes" starring Christoph Waltz and Amy Adams in a true story about the art of Margaret Keane and her husband Walter who was credited for a good long while with the artwork of characters with "big eyes". The film has not been announced for any festival to date and Burton did play "Ed Wood" AT TFF in 1994 so it's not a complete impossibility that we could see it pop up in three and a half weeks in the San Juans. Here from The Playlist and FirstShowing are the pics:
Jennifer Aniston and Peter Bogdanovich via The Playlist
Last week Venice Film Fest officials said that they knew that they had five films scheduled that would roll on to Telluride. One of those could be Peter Bogdanovich's "She's Funny That Way" which for a good long while was titled "Squirrels to the Nuts". The comedy stars Owen Wilson, Imogen Poots, Jennifer Aniston and more. Bogdo has often been a part of past Telluride fests and it wouldn't surprise me greatly if this was included on the program this year.
The Playlist dropped a number of photos of the film late yesterday one of which is posted above.
"99 Homes" with Andrew Garfield and Michael Shannon via Entertainment Weekly
Entertainment Weekly was up yesterday with a first photo from Ramin Bahrani's "99 Homes" as you can see above. The film is scheduled to play the Venice fest in competition and I think, given its premiere status vis-a-vis Toronto that it's very likely to play Telluride as well. Bahrani was at T-ride in 2012 with "At Any Price" with star Dennis Quaid in attendance as well. "at Any Price" didn't exactly set the world on fire scoring a 60 rating at Metacritic and earning a reported $379,000 domestically.
"99 Homes" focuses on the U.S. housing crisis as Garfield plays a man who gets in over his head and ends up working with Michael Shannon who plays an unscrupulous realtor.
Stories are included here from Entertainment Weekly and The Playlist:
Couple of stray thoughts: "Spiderman vs. General Zod".
And one wonders if Garfield, who attended the fest 2010 with "Never Let Me Go" might return and if he does, if it's possible that his current significant other, Ms. Emma Stone, might be there as well as she's co-starring in Alejandro Inarritu's "Birdman".
WHO GETS A TRIBUTE?
I was noodling around the rising suspicion that Tommy Lee Jones "The Homesman" will be screened in just over three weeks in Telluride and as I was doing that, it struck me that a TLJ tribute in coordination with that film. I can see it pretty clearly. Maybe co-star and two time Oscar winner Hilary Swank attends as well. Makes a lot of sense to me.
And that got me to thinking seriously about other tribute possibilities.
Pete Hammond suggested a couple of weeks ago that Telluride might be dangling the tribute carrot in front of Chris Nolan in a play to get "Interstellar" on board. I've never thought it was a big likelihood and recent buzz is that no fest may have the film on its lineup.
I have suggested Nicole Kidman as a tribute possible in conjunction with the almost certain play of "Queen of the Desert".
I have also mentioned a Juliette Binoche tribute should Olivier Assasyas "Clouds of Sils Maria" be a T-ride selection.
Some weeks back, I mentioned a Michael Keaton tribute as a possibility with the screening of "Birdman", although that does seem a little far fetched.
How about Tim Burton if Telluride gets "Big Eyes"...yeah. that would make some sense.
MAYBE IT'S BOGDO...
Earlier this week I speculated about who might get a tribute this year. I mentioned Tommy Lee Jones, Juliette Binoche...others. One name I should have included, but didn't, is Peter Bogdanovich. Bogdo was a TFF Guest Director in 1998 and attended with frequency through 2006 but hasn't (to my knowledge) been back since.
This year he has a Venice competition film: "She's Funny That Way" which could make the Telluride lineup but he's also the focus of a documentary that is playing Venice as well: Bill Teck's "One Day Since Yesterday: Peter Bogdanovich and the Lost American Film".
I can see that being part of a Bogdo tribute in three weeks.
That would also mean that this doc is one f the "Venice Five" (Venice director Alberto Barbera is on record as having said that five films will play Venice and Telluride).
I've included a link to a story about the Venice goings-on here from Thompson on Hollywood:
And in the same vein as Bogdo above, another good possibility for a tribute (as was pointed to me yesterday in a comment from "Anonymous" here on the blog) is Oscar winner Reese Witherspoon. We're about 98% certain that her new film "Wild" is going to be seen for the first time at Telluride. We know that she won her Oscar for 2005's "Walk the Line" which started her run to the win at TFF. And don't discount the connection to Alexander Payne. Payne directed her in what was a big breakout for them both in "Election" in 1999. So, yes indeed, boys and girls...Reese Witherspoon is definitely a TFF tribute candidate.
TAPLEY MUSES
"Fury" trailer via YouTube
HitFix/InContention's Kristopher Tapley posted a fairly extensive look at the awards season last night that also included his thoughts about what is/might be/is unlikely to be Telluride bound. As you might expect, he comes to a number of the same conclusions that you've already read here.
He does mention a few things that are of specific interest...some intriguing...some a little disappointing. Tapley suggests that David Ayer's "Fury" might have a reasonable shot at playing T-ride but that Angelina Jolie's "Unbroken" is unlikely/unprepared for fests.
Tapley mentions a couple of films that I haven't had on my Telluride radar at all. Tom McCarthy's Adam Sandler starer "The Cobbler" and William Monahan's "Mojave" starring Mark Wahlberg. Additionally, he suggests a Telluride screening of "Whiplash" as he includes it on a list of Sony Pictures Classics "possibles/probables".
Tapley also says that J.C. Chandor is still editing "A Most Violent Year" which doesn't mean that the film is completely off the Telluride table...but it sure isn't encouraging.
The Toronto International Film Festival announced a slew of Canadian titles yesterday that have been added across many of the different sections that the fest features. There was a film here and there that piqued my interest in terms of Telluride potential but none to the point that I'm ready to declare any of the films announced yesterday as Telluride likely.
Take a look at the new films announced here via Indie Wire:
The Playlist looked at the same list yesterday and they claim that Xavier Dolan's "Mommy" (which played well at Cannes in May and is being distributed in the U.S. by Roadside attractions) by being a "Toronto" premiere "suggests that it'll be going to Telluride to make its North American debut".
