Telluride Film Festival
Event Info
Occurring annually in Telluride, Colorado, the Telluride Film Festival generally takes place on Labor Day weekend, which is the first Monday in September. Operated now by the National Film Preserve, the festival was founded back in 1974. In 2010, this film festival partnered up with the UCLA TFT and created the FilmLab program. This program primarily focused on filmmaking, the art, and the industry of this area. It was designed for UCLA graduates, with 10 filmmakers selected for this program.
The festival generally takes place between the Cannes Film Festival and the Toronto Film Festival. The tradition of the Telluride Film Festival is that the films must be shown in the United States for the first time to be an eligible submission to the festival. Because of this tradition, the Telluride Film Festival is known for discovering amazing new filmmakers and films. Robert Rodriguez and Michael Moore are just two big names that were discovered here.
The 2020 event was originally scheduled for September 3-7, but was cancelled as a result of the pandemic. As of right now, there is no set date for the event in 2021 though it’s safe to assume that if the event is going to be held, it will be around Labor Day weekend as usual.
