The Telluride Film Festival, keeping with its practice, made a last-minute announcement of the program for its proceedings, which begin in Colorado on Friday and continue through Monday. The festival includes 25 documentary and narrative films, like the Cannes Palme d'Or winner “Amour,†from Michael Haneke; “Midnight's Children,†based on the Salman Rushdie novel; and “The Act of Killing,†a nonfiction film in which former members of death squads in Indonesia re-enact their killings as if they were scenes from favorite films.
As always, the Telluride lineup includes an early look at some pictures that will also show up at the Toronto International Film Festival, which begins next week, and the New York Film Festival later in September. Among the films at all three are Noah Baumbach's “Frances Ha,†Sally Potter's “Ginger and Rosa,†Dror Moreh's “Gatekeepers,†and Roger Michell's “Hyde Park on Hudso n.†With the arrival of festivals in Telluride, Venice and Toronto, the movie awards season begins, though the heat of August has not quite burned off.
