2012 Telluride Film Festival Announces Lineup As Festival Opens; Includes ‘Amour,’ ‘Frances Ha,’ ‘Hyde Park on Hudson’
As is tradition (and a pretty fun one at that), the Telluride Film Festival has announced their lineup just one day before the festival kicks off in Telluride, CO. The 39th Telluride Film Festival will include twenty-five narrative and documentary films in its Main Program, with a total of “nearly 100 feature films, short films and revivals representing over thirty countries, along with Tribute programs, Conversations, Panels and Education Programs.”
This year’s slate includes a number of anticipated films and many that are already gathering momentum on the festival circuit, including Michael Haneke’s Amour, Ramin Bahrani’s At Any Price, Michael Winterbottom’s Everyday, Sally Potter’s Ginger and Rosa, Noah Baumbach’s Frances Ha, Thomas Vinterberg’s The Hunt, Roger Michell’s Hyde Park on Hudson, Jacques Audiard’s Rust & Bone, Sarah Polley’s Stories We Tell, and Wayne Blair’s The Sapphires. In addition to these solid picks, Telluride will also unveil some surprise “Sneak Previews” over the weekend. Past sneaks have included 127 Hours, Black Swan, and Up in the Air.
Additionally, Marion Cotillard, Roger Corman, and Mads Mikkelsen will all be honored.
