Teluride 2009The year before last was the last year that longtime Telluride Film Festival founders Bill and Stella Pence were part of the festival organizing team.

fig-4-oct08-slavoj_zizek-leadin.jpgInterest in the Telluride Film Festival  (Aug 29 – Sep 1) was at an all time high for 2008 as the rather expensive Festival Passes ($680) sold out early in the summer and even the ultra expensive Patron Passes ($Don’t Ask) were sold out before the festival started.  As usual the film line-up would not be revealed until the first day. What we did know was that Slavoj Zizek was to be the guest director, meaning the historical films were likely to be foreign, and interesting. And we knew that Laurie Anderson had created the poster, meaning that we might spot Lou Reed wondering in the hills around Telluride. I’m not sure nature was ready for that. I was ready to have him sign my records except for the fact that I’d have to carry them around. My movie reviews are posted in my report of the festival....it will be interesting to see if my picks for 2008 are as popular in the theater as last year's picks!
