Telluride Film Fest Unveils Lineup Featuring ‘Beasts of No Nation,’ ‘Bitter Lake’ and so much more

Following their own idiosyncratic tradition, The Telluride Film Festival as announced the program for its 42nd edition only one day before the festival begins. For the unfamiliar, Telluride is unlike any film festival and doesn’t offer any indication of what movies they intend on screening until the very last minute. Those who make the annual pilgrimage to the Rocky Mountain town in Colorado must purchase their ticket packages far in advance and trust that the programmers will not disappoint with their selection of films. They never do! Something else that makes the festival stand out is the absence of press and industry badges. That’s right, even members of the press have to pay for their tickets. Telluride is all the movies, and everyone is treated equally. Once again, we have writers attending this year, so be sure to check back for our coverage. Our very own Lane Scarberry has already released a list of her most anticipated films and she should be delivering coverage throughout the week. The four-day event has often introduced many Academy Award winning films before any other fest and every year they offer tributes. This year they pay tribute to Adam Curtis, Rooney Mara, and Danny Boyle. The full lineup of the 42nd Telluride Film Festival is listed below.
