Nyff 2013

[Chris Knipp]

TELLURIDE, AUG. 29-SEPT. 2, 2013

The 40th Telluride Film Festival has announced its main program, the ‘SHOW,' below. Some of these are NYFF Main Slate items. A notable one excluded from the NYFF is Farhadi's THE PAST, which was much admired at Cannes. LA MAISON DE LA RADIO was delayed from its earlier planned inclusion in this year's Rendez-Vous with French Cinema at Lincoln Center. THE UNKNOWN UNKNON is a one-one-one interview and review of the career around the Iraq war of Donald Rumsfeld, no doubt a kind of sequel to Errol Morris's famous film about Robert S. McNamara, THE FOG OF WAR. Other titles are worth looking into. Fore more details about this year's Telluride, go here. The Telluride Film Festival, in Colorado, just before the NYFF, was co-founded 40 years ago with James Card and Bill Pence by Tom Luddy, who's still at the helm. Each year the fest chooses a cool "Guest Director," and Errol Morris and Alexander Payne are among these, as well as: Laurie Anderson, Peter Bogdanovich, John Boorman, J.P. Gorin, Edith Kramer, Peter Sellars, Stephen Sondheim, Bertrand Tavernier and Slavoj Zizek.

Titles I'll be reviewing in the NYFF are highlighted in silver. A Cannes prize-winner I miss from the NYFF list is Farhadi's THE PAST, included at Telluride.

Philippe Garrel's BEFORE THE WINTER CHILL isn't listed elsewhere (the NYFF includes what IMDb lists as his newest film, JEALOUSY). CHILL may be the "untitled 2012 project" Allociné lists for Garrel, a sequel to A BURNING HOT SUMMER/UN ÉTÉ BRÛLANT with Louis Garrel, Monica Belluci, Laura Smet, and Michel Piccoli. It looks like he was working on two movies at once, or in close succession.
