Despite the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, the Telluride Film Festival announced its 2020 edition will proceed in September.
Movie lovers, rejoice with caution : We may still have a fall film festival circuit this year.
With the Venice Film Festival still scheduled to proceed in September, festival organizers have announced that the 2020 edition of Telluride will go on as well. The festival will begin on Thursday, Sept. 3, rather than the usual Friday, as part of additional safety precautions this year. “We are not ignorant of the devastation facing the world. We feel the fear and distress too. This is why we are committed to observing all guidance as suggested by the consensus of voices of the scientific community with whom we are consulting now. This will not be a business as usual event. Things will look and feel very different," the organizers said in a statement.
Telluride is one of the major film festival sites of the fall season, along with Venice, New York, and Toronto, which all serve as important steps in building awards-season momentum. Of course, regardless of whether the festivals proceed, the question of whether any films will screen there remains.
