Telluride Film Festival (TFF) has unveiled the programme for its 49th edition, with the US festival running from tomorrow (September 2) to September 5.
Ahead of its play at Toronto and BFI London Film Festival, Sam Mendes’ Empire Of Light will world premiere. Set in an English seaside town during the 1980s, the film follows a love story and an old cinema. Olivia Colman and Colin Firth star, alongside Screen Star of Tomorrow 2020 Micheal Ward, Toby Jones, Tanya Moodie, Tom Brooke and Crystal Clarke. It is produced by Mendes and Pippa Harris’ Neal Street Productions in association with Searchlight.
Also receiving its world premiere will be Laure de Clermont-Tonnerre’s adaptation of DH Lawrence’s Lady Chatterley’s Lover for Netflix, starring Screen Star of Tomorrow Emma Corrin and Jack O’Connell.
Sebastian Lelio’s The Wonder and Sarah Polley’s Women Talking are also world premiering, with Canadian Polley being honoured with a Silver Medallion award, given to recognise an artist’s significant contribution to the world of cinema.
Cate Blanchett will also receive a Silver Medallion award. The Australian actor stars in Todd Field’s TÁR, which will play at Telluride after its world premiere in Venice and sees Blanchett play an orchestra conductor.
Belfast-born Mark Cousins is also set to be awarded. The writer-director will be at the festival with My Name Is Alfred Hitchcock and The March On Rome.
Also playing will be Cannes titles including James Gray’s semi-autobiographical Armageddon Time and Ali Abbasi’s Holy Spider – the Cannes premiere of which attracted a red carpet protest against femicide in France. The feature follows a female journalist investigating the murder of sex workers in Iran.
