Telluride Film Festival 2014 Thursday

It's the day before the festival starts. We arrived last night. This morning we were shocked to discover they gave out the programs today! A first! How wonderful to be able to read the schedule  early. So at this time, we know most of the movies and a lot of the actors & directors etc who will be here-- not just their movies but them in person.

No telling who we will personally see but here's the list so far: Jon Stewart with his directorial debut; Steve Carrell; Channing Tatum; Hillary Swank who will be honored; Reese Witherspoon; Benedict Cumberbatch; Laura Dern.
I imagine a number of them will attend the Patrons Brunch tomorrow.  Photo op.

Besides a tribute to Hillary Swank, there is a tribute to Apocalpse Now on the occasion of its 35th anniversary. Coppola will be here with others to reflect on this landmark film.

In addition, typically there are surprise people & films that will be TBAs announced in the coming days.
Besides getting acclimated today Michelle looked at some condos for possible purchase. That was fun!
I hope to be able to post more about our experiences tomorrow. So far, so good.

Oh-- I just saw the full list of films so far  is on the website for Telluride Film Festival. So I won't list them now , but you can check it out if interested.
 Again-- that's a first-- to be posted already.

-- Jane
