02 Sep Telluride Film Festival: Documentaries, shorts
[click “Play” to hear Gary Meyer’s conversation with Susan]
Monsoon season in Telluride appears to have ended. The grass is green, the sun is shining bright yellow and the sky is Colorado blue. But this weekend, people who like watching people making well-lit , larger-than-life spectacles of themselves will burrow in dark theaters. This weekend, September 3 – September 6, is the 37th annual Telluride Film Festival.
And it is not just about the full-length features. Documentaries are given equal prominence. Festival attendees also applaud the shorts. (The directors and their compatriots screen about 500-1,000 each year to make their picks.) As they do some of the treasured restorations, some set to music.
