Telluride Film Festival, Sept. 2-6

It’s almost a filmdom cult with sold-out crowds holding their passes year after year. Nevertheless, there are waitlists for chances to be a part of this exclusive event.

Movies and stars all the time and film industry participants won’t be revealed until it all opens, or until their private planes touch down at the airport. Names are biggies, however. Surprises everywhere.

The teasers, they promise “screening for breakthrough works and rediscovered classics, enjoy tributes, and encounter one-of-a-kind discussions with filmmakers who are at ease in the low-key atmosphere.”

On Labor Day weekend, little Telluride triples in size for four days of cinema.
