Unless you were at the Venice and/or TIFF film festivals, chances are you haven't seen Kelly Reichardt's Meek's Cutoff. The number five spot is reserved to someone who, I was surprised to “encounter” as the film unfolded and I would even suggest you skip over onto the next “New Face”. Pic above, is obviously not related to the pic.

I was wondering why Peter Mullan's Neds wasn't included in Venice. I was wondering why the Midnight Madness section didn't name Koen Mortier's latest. I was wondering why Cannes regular Bent Hamer wasn't in Cannes. TIFF's CWC section has all three high profile items, plus Venice Film Festival's Meek's Cutoff (Kelly Reichard) and Three (Tom Tykwer). Reichard will participate in Kelly Reichardt in a Mavericks discussion about the behind the scenes of her process.

It's another "Cannes heavy" selection this year for the 48th edition of the NYFF. With the majority of the titles coming from the Croisette (look out for some personal faves in Cristi Puiu's Aurora and Michelangelo Frammartino's Le Quattro Volte) and the Lido (Abdellatif Kechiche's Black Venus, Kelly Reichardt's Meek’s Cutoff, Hong Sang-soo's Oki’s Movie, Pablo Larrain's Post Mortem, Patrick Keiller's Robinson in Ruins, Alexei Fedorchenko's Silent Souls, plus Raul Ruiz's miniseries Mysteries of Lisbon), I figure it be fun to take a closer look at the non-Cannes/Venice offerings.

We've got two indie projects that happen to star Paul Dano that we are keen on seeing this year (perhaps both might be ready in time for TIFF). The first is Kelly Reichardt's Meek's Cutoff and the other, is Dano in toplining So Yong Kim's For Ellen.

Among one of the rare U.S film in the sidebars this year comes the Un Certain Regard selected, regular snail mail accepted entry from Old Joy's Kelly Reichardt. Once again working with very little resources, Wendy and Lucy is a road movie minus the road and becomes a film that confronts our own inability to depend on strangers
