Telluride Film Festival The 35^th telluride Film Festival will be held in August 29^th through September 1^st 2008. The festival has nearly 40 film programs shown in the eight Festival venues. The best way to attend the Telluride Film Festival is to buy one of our three passes: Acme, Festival or Patron, because, depending on the level of the pass, it admits you to the Shows and events of the Festival throughout the entire weekend. Only passholders are admitted to the social gatherings, and in the theatres they are seated before any individual ticket purchasers.

Location:
