The statement announcing this alliance provides scant details of what concrete form it will take, beyond saying that they “are offering our festivals as a united platform for the best cinema we can find.” But what appears clear is there will be a truce when it comes to the usual frenzied jockeying for world premieres. This is probably facilitated by the fact that the Oscars have been moved to April 25, which eases the pressure on certain festivals serving as a film’s awards season launch pad.
Venice, which runs Sept. 2-12, is positioned on the calendar ahead of Toronto, which runs Sept. 10-20, and New York, which will take place from Sept. 27-Oct. 3. Telluride ran Aug. 30-Sept. 2 last year and has not officially announced its 2020 dates. The fall festival alliance does not include the Cannes Film Festival, which usually takes place in May and has forged an alliance with Spain’s San Sebastian Film Festival, which will run Sept. 18-26 and where several Cannes Label titles will unspool.
