While the oxygen may be thin in Telluride, nestled high in the mountains of Colorado (elevation 8,750 feet), when the 45th edition of the scenic town’s annual film festival kicks off Friday, the air will be thick with Oscar buzz.
Smaller and less flashy than the fall’s other major festivals in Venice, Toronto and New York, Telluride — which pointedly eschews paparazzi and red carpets — has nevertheless found itself thrust into the spotlight in recent years as a launching pad for Oscar glory. The festival has played host to eight of the last nine best picture winners, including “12 Years a Slave,” “Birdman,” “Moonlight” and “The Shape of Water,” which screened there last year alongside fellow eventual best picture nominees “Lady Bird” and “Darkest Hour.”
