The 48th edition of the mythical Telluride Film Festival, dedicated to the memory of Bertrand Tavernier, will take place from September 2 through 6, 2021with half a dozen French productions or coproductions on the program.
Thirty-five films are part of this year's general selection of this (non-competitive) festival located in Telluride, a small town in Colorado, and known since 1974, the year of its creation, for its strong cinephilia and its love of discovery. It's often an important relay for the Oscar race.
This year, four French films or French co-productions will receive their North American premieres (only a few days before the opening of TIFF in Canada).
