  • Festival Description:

    For over three decades the Telluride Film Festival has been an intense four-day Labor Day weekend celebration commemorating the art of filmmaking in all its forms - honoring the cinemas enduring masters, and illuminating emerging talents. Championing the rare, the unknown, the unconventional. Bringing the best new works by the worlds finest directors and the latest in independent and international cinema to a tiny mountain town at a breathtaking 9,000 feet up in the heart of the gorgeous Colorado Rockies. Entry in the Festival is open to professional and nonprofessional filmmakers working in all aesthetic disciplines - documentary, narrative, animation, experimental, features and shorts, of all styles and lengths are eligible for consideration. Feature length works must have had no public exposure before the Labor Day event.

    The following unannounced Sneak Previews screened at the 36th Telluride Film Festival: UP IN THE AIR (d. Jason Reitman, U.S., 2009); MY SON MY SON, WHAT HAVE YE DONE? (d. Werner Herzog, U.S./Germany, 2009); PARANORMAL ACTIVITY (d. Oren Peli, U.S., 2008). Festival guests Nicolas Cage, Andrew Eaton, Michael Haneke, Julian Jarrold, Katie Jarvis, James Marsh, Helen Mirren, Carey Mulligan, Warwick Thornton and Anand Tucker participated in the Festival’s Conversations series, allowing Festival attendees to listen and participate in discussions ranging from cinema to culture to politics, and everything in between.

    Telluride Film Festival Tributees included: Silver Medallion honorees were the old-fashioned movie star Viggo Mortensen, the very definition of feminine mystique Anouk Aimée, and the rebel with a cause Margarethe von Trotta.The Special Medallion was presented to Lobster Films’ Serge Bromberg, whose enthusiasm for film preservation and showmanship ignited many new fans and admirers!
