See award-nominated films at The Music Hall!

While most people start talking about the Academy Awards in January, here at The Music Hall, we start in September during the Telluride by the Sea Film Festival. Over three days we get a sneak peek at the movies that often turn out to be award show front-runners, including this season’s award show darling, The Shape of Water.

Every one of them is a statement about the time they were made, the state of the world, the state of technology, the issues that were resonating with people at the time. As popular and as prevalent as some movies have become through the years, by shear volume of global film production, it can be all too easy for even great works by known masters to sink into obscurity, and disappear from popular consciousness.

September is my favorite month, it is the start of fall, the beginning of football (I’m happy to share that I’m undefeated in both of my fantasy leagues), the Fairy House tour takes place (I have my wings ready), my birthday, and the Telluride by the Sea Film Festival comes to The Music Hall.
