14 Dec Telluride Film Fest: The Oscar Race, Post-Election
Over Labor Day weekend, the Telluride Film Festival did its thing, celebrating the art, not the business, of filmmaking in grand style. But the business of films inevitably rears its head, especially in the run-up to Oscar season. Among the buzziest festival films of 2016...
