The Show

Kara Tatone

The curtain was drawn on the 34th Telluride Film Festival and the magic began. The best of the best of the film industry strolled into our little mountain town for a Labor Day weekend of eating, sleeping and breathing film.

One month ago Telluride's auditoriums, conference rooms and even the Elks Park began their transformation into sophisticated metropolitan theaters. Labor Day weekend those seats filled fast for eager film buffs, film historians, filmmakers, actors, and Film passholders for what has been for three decades an elegant yet quaint festival of the art of film.

Thousands took a seat—in theaters, on main street and Elks Park—for the Show that goes on in Telluride inside and out. There's no better place to watch the stars, no matter which kind you are looking for.
