Montclair Film Festival, Backed by Stephen Colbert, Opens With Edward Berger’s ‘Conclave’ (EXCLUSIVE)
Edward Berger's "Conclave" will open the 13th edition of the Montclair Film Festival on Oct. 18.
In addition to “Conclave,” Gints Zilbalodis’s animated “Flow,” Steve McQueen’s World War II epic “Blitz,” Jacques Audiard’s redemption thriller “Emilia Perez,” and Sean Baker’s “Anora” are among the Oscar hopefuls that will screen at MFF. In addition to Costa’s “Apocoplypse in the Tropics” and Wang’s “Night is Not Eternal,” this year’s MFF doc film competition includes Mati Diop’s “Dahomey,” Silje Evensmo Jacobsen’s “A New King of Wilderness” and Johan Grimonpez’s “Soundtrak to a Coup D’Etat.” But for industry insiders, there’s much more at stake than statuettes: The awards campaign cycle drives big dollars at the box office and in TV advertising, fuels a robust ecosystem of red-carpet events from L.A. to London, and has the power to make or break artistic and executive careers.
