Telluride 2022 Lineup: Iñarritu, Kore-eda, Hansen-Løve, and More

The hype for awards season continues as the 49th annual Telluride Film Festival arrives this weekend. Some of the potential highlights for this year’s edition include Cate Blanchett receiving a tribute award for her performance in Todd Field’s upcoming Tár, as well as the world premieres of Sarah Polley’s Women Talking, Alejandro Gonzalez Iñarritu’s Bardo, and more.

“This year, there are some real ass-kicking films,” Telluride executive director Julie Huntsinger told IndieWire during a recent interview. “I feel that this is a really challenging program in a good way.” 

Documentaries making their premiere on the festival circuit in Telluride include Matthew Heineman’s Retrograde, Chris Smith’s Sr. on the late filmmaker Robert Downey, Sr, Christine Molloy and Joe Lawlor’s The Future Tense, Ken Burns’ The U.S. and the Holocaust, Anton Corbijn’s Squaring the Circle, and more.

The festival will run from September 2 through September 5.
