Telluride gets Academy cash
The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has awarded the Telluride Film Festival with $50,000 to underwrite the fest's guest director program, this year headed by philosopher Saloj Zizek.
Cash comes from the Academy's educational wing - the Academy Foundation - which doles out more than $1 million to film scholars, cultural institutions and film festivals each year.
Look for the Telluride lineup here, tomorrow afternoon.
