The 42nd Telluride Film Festival return this year with an eclectic lineup of feature films, documentaries, and a few special tributes to artists like director Danny Boyle, documentary filmmaker Adam Curtis, and actress Rooney Mara.
Telluride is well-situated on the International Film Festival calendar for this: shortly after the Cannes Film Festival, but just before the Toronto International Film Festival and the New York Film Festival. This insistence on premieres has led to Telluride's being associated with the discovery of a number of important new films and filmmakers.

Since 1995 a special medallion has also been presented annually, usually to a non-filmmaker who has had a major impact on American or international film culture.
Each Festival also features three tributes. Typically one has been devoted to an important figure in contemporary Hollywood, another to a major historical figure, and a third to someone who is either not well known to American audiences or who has been misunderstood by them.
Each year, an artist is selected to produce the poster art for the festival.

The sole requirement for the poster is that the word SHOW be featured. This is a tribute to a large illuminated sign which says "Show" and sits outside of the Sheridan Opera House, the Festival venue where the Silver Medallions are awarded. The Festival's perspective has always been defined by an intense cinephilia. This has led many to praise the Festival's purity and commitment. Except for these Silver Medallions, the Festival gives no prizes or awards. The program is created by executive director Julie Huntsinger, founder and artistic director Tom Luddy, artistic director Gary Meyer, and one of the Telluride Film Festival guest directors, who change each year.
