TFF 2008 - here it comes!

My Festival pass arrived in the mail the other day. 

Does anyone have any guesses as to what may be on the TFF 2008 program?

My first guess is Milk.  IMDB used to have it listed in Venice (the same weekend as Telluride) and Toronto...  Any other guesses?

Re:TFF 2008 - here it comes!

I have done a little research - next Tuesday the Toronto program will be released, and that will help the guessing somewhat - anyway, based upon previous directors / performers being in Telluride and the release dates, the following is a list of possible films for the Telluride 2008 program (SPOUT links included where possible, otherwise they are IMDB):

Silence de Lorna, Le by Jean-Pierre Dardenne and Luc Dardenne

Abrazos rotos, Los by Pedro Almodóvar

Nice research! I can't wait, I'll have to see what I can find out about these movies.

Re:TFF 2008 - here it comes!

Here is another possible film for Telluride's program - Blindness by Fernando Meirelles (City of God (2002))...

Here is the Toronto Program...  Take a look and leave notes on what you think may be in Telluride as well...

That's quite a long list for the Toronto fest. I've always enjoyed the surprise of the schedule at Telluride; I've never thought of actively guessing and researching what might be there. Having said that, though, I do hope you are right about "Milk." I've been looking forward to it. Even though I was quite young, I remember the event pretty well as I moved the SF bay area just after it happened. Well,  back to packing for Telluride....

Have you seen The Times of Harvey Milk?  It played in Telluride before pretty much anywhere else (according to their history link)...

Yes, I have seen it several times. I rented it again recently when I heard they were making "Milk." It caught my attention when I heard about it partly because of the subject matter and partly because of the cast. I had just seen Sean Penn at Telluride last year (with Into the Wild) and I think he was an excellent choice to play Milk. Also, Gus Van Sant lives here in Portland so I'm always watching for his projects. The rest of the cast looks terrific as well. Gawd my packing for Telluride is going slowly this year, I just keep putting it off. Sheesh.

I just saw the trailer for Changeling... looks *phenomenal*!  Clint Eastwood + Angelina Jolie.  Say what you want about AJ, but its hard to deny she *can* be a great performer in the right film with the right director.  Can't wait till it hits theatres.  Corruption is always good on the big screen.
