“The Auteurs” Cinema Site Celebrates Telluride

If you haven’t yet discovered the movie site The Autuers, you’re in for a tremendous treat. Still in private beta, this newer site is an exciting library of film history, specializing in special interest, independent and international cinema categories. Their current homepage, for example, includes ”innovative documentaries,” “Latin cinema” and “The impact of the French New Wave.”
To celebrate the Tellruide Film Festival, The Auteurs — along with the brilliant Criterion Collection — are presenting information, trailers and complete films from 35 years of Telluride features.
You read that right: Complete streaming films, full-screen and absolutely free. It’s one of the most exciting aspects of The Auteurs and it exists for some titles throughout their library (some others require a nominal fee). This is a cinemaphile’s dream, especially considering the site’s relatively young age.
From Louis Malle’s Au Revoir Les Enfants
The Telluride presentation boasts an impressive list (with free screenings on a rotating basis) including Kalatozov’s The Cranes Are Flying (he’d later direct the groundbreaking I Am Cuba), Tarkovsky’s Solaris, Louis Malle’s Au Revoir Les Enfants (above) and Kieslowski’s The Double Life of Veronique.
If you truly love film, visit The Auteurs, become a member, watch and discuss. I’ll see you there.
