VIDEO : Telluride to Showcase ?Steve Jobs,? ?Black Mass? and Sydney Pollack?s Swan Song

The 42nd annual Telluride Film Festival promises yet another eclectic mix of fall Oscar hopefuls looking for a leg up on the season.
The four-day event kicks off Friday with a restored version of German filmmaker Fritz Lang?s 275-minute epic ?Die Nibelungen?. The festival will also feature a world premiere of Danny Boyle?s Michael Fassbender-led ? Steve Jobs,? new documentaries from Oscar-winners Charles Ferguson and Davis Guggenheim and the final film from late director Sydney Pollack.
Telluride executive director Julie Huntsinger said that passes sold out ?stupefyingly fast? as the fest continues to be a popular mountain retreat for dedicated attendees.
