The 32nd annual Mountainfilm in Telluride Festival is scheduled this year May 28 – 31. The event will feature a rich mix of special guest presenters drawn from a wide spectrum of experience and expertise: adventurers, artists, activists and an ambassador.
“Mountainfilm is about so many things: climbing, mountaineering, world cultures, the environment, art, extreme sports, social justice and foreign policy,” said Festival director David Holbrooke. “One of the things that makes Mountainfilm so unique and exciting is that we attract interesting people from all of those worlds.

But our guests are what really set us apart.”

Jason Reitman
There is a lot of conversation about how much effect the Telluride Film Festival and the Toronto International Film Festival have on the Oscar nominating procedure. I don't pretend to have inside information on this subject, but TIO had the opportunity not only to view some great films at Telluride, but to witness audience reaction in the theaters and to converse with film buffs in the lines outside. Our take on the Oscar season? For an in depth look at what TIO said right after the festival see Susan's review from September 14.
We called out Jason Reitman's "Up in the Air", starring George Clooney, as a contender in several categories.
Yes, Telluride saw a little rain these past few days. Did that stop the dancing? Not on your life. Telluride Inside...
Run the list in alphabetical order and his name appears towards the bottom, but Otis Taylor is top of mind for the many fans of Telluride Blues & Brews Festival, September 18-20. Blues, the ultimate roots music, still has legs, very long legs, and singer/songwriter/troubadour/storyteller Otis Taylor is one reason why.
