Telluride Film Festival
Each Labor Day Weekend, the tiny town of Telluride, Colorado, triples in numbers. Swells of passionate film enthusiasts flood the town for four days of total cinematic immersion, embarking on a viewing odyssey, blissfully spending entire days in flickering dark rooms. With only an appreciation of celluloid to guide them, these devotees flock to the show, year after year. Why? Blind faith. The Telluride Film Festival doesn't reveal the program until everyone lands in town, yet attendees trust that a unique experience will unfold. The top-secret program features premieres, classics, seminars and discussions with the world's leading filmmakers and stars.
