NEW POSTERS: HUMAN FLOW AND FILM STARS
We had our first glimpses of posters from both Paul McGuigan's Film Stars Don't Die in Liverpool as well as Ai Weiwei's Human Flow appear yesterday. Weiwei also tweeted that a Human Flow trailer should be expected today. Here are the posters:

MAYBE THERE IS ANOTHER FILM FROM VENICE?
Thanks go out to eagle-eyed Kamil Ahsan who communicated with me yesterday to ask about the chances of Woodshock playing at Telluride. I had all but dismissed it as Venice has scheduled it to play on Sept. 4th. Additionally, Variety, Entertainment Weekly and The Hollywood Reporter have all reported that Errol Morris' Wormwood is the only non-World Premiere at Venice.
But Kamil pointed me to this tweet from the official Woodshock film account that clearly says that the film will be a European Premiere at Venice.
This could mean that the film from the Muleavey sisters will drop early in the Telluride schedule and then move to Venice.
So something has to give here. It'll be interesting to see what happens but for those looking forward to catching Woodshock at TFF #44 there seems to be a glimmer of hope.
That's the MTFB for this Friday, Aug. 18th. Have a great weekend!
