Summer Festivals provide the heart of Telluride's tourist economy

This weekend we will enjoy one of the most important events of the summer festival season. The Telluride Film Festival has brought some of our most prominent second homeowners to town for their first visit. Please read on for a brief synopsis of this year’s Film Festival. For more information you can go the following link http://www.telluridefilmfestival.org/.

Telluride Film Festival celebrates 36 years
For 36 years the small town of Telluride, Colorado has been host to the Telluride Film Festival and currently the myriad of volunteers and board members are working hard to prepare the venues for the mecca of films to be previewed this Labor Day weekend. In keeping with tradition, the program will be kept secret until opening day on Friday, September 4th. Although the program is kept secret this doesn’t stop the flocks of film enthusiasts from descending upon town year after year knowing a wonderful cinematic experience awaits. On average 20 to 30 new films from around the world are featured and each film is accompanied by either its director, producer and/or actors.
In addition to the feature films there are free noon seminars in Telluride’s Elk’s Park where festival attendees can listen to industry experts discuss films and issues affecting the industry. There are “Conversations” where guest artists discuss their work with a celebrity moderator and each evening there is a feature film in the open air cinema. Whether you have a pass or not there is something for everyone at Telluride’s Film Festival. As always if you have any questions please email me at buzz@fedorka.com. I will post the program up on my blog on Friday afternoon when it is announced. Happy Film Festival!
