Three weeks after organizers were forced to cancel this year’s event, the team have announced the line-up that would’ve been on show at this year’s Telluride Film Festival.
Amongst the highlights were Francis Lee’s period lesbian romancer “Ammonite” starring Kate Winslet and Saoirse Ronan, Chloe Zhao’s “Nomadland,” Ricky Staub’s Idris Elba-led contemporary western “Concrete Cowboy,” Roger Michell’s Helen Mirren-led heist film “The Duke,” Sundance smash “The Father” starring Anthony Hopkins, Werner Herzog’s new doco “Fireball,” and Liz Garbus’ “All In: The Fight for Democracy”.
