52nd Telluride Film Festival 2025: The prestigious international film festival returns to the picturesque mountain town of Telluride, Colorado for Labor Day weekend, transforming the tiny village into a cinematic haven. Founded in 1974, TFF has earned a legendary reputation for premiering new films and celebrating classic cinema while maintaining its unique tradition of keeping the complete program secret until the festival begins, creating an atmosphere of surprise and exclusivity that attracts film luminaries, industry professionals, and devoted cinephiles from around the world.Highlights:
This four-day educational celebration of the art of film features over 50 carefully curated films screened across ten venues, including international debuts, independent gems, and future Oscar contenders. The festival is renowned for discovering important new films and filmmakers, having premiered works by Michael Moore, Robert Rodriguez, and countless others who went on to achieve critical and commercial success. TFF operates as a non-competitive celebration rather than a juried competition, focusing purely on the appreciation of cinema past, present, and future. The 2025 edition features poster art by celebrated graphic novelist Daniel Clowes, creator of Ghost World and Academy Award nominee. Special events include Silver Medallion tributes to three industry luminaries, special screenings of classic and rare films, the traditional Labor Day Picnic with live music and film discussions, intimate conversations with filmmakers and historians, and spontaneous encounters that embody the festival's spirit of discovery and community.
