Liz Garbus and Sam Pollard were supposed to attend last year’s fest with “All In: The Fight for Democracy” and “MLK/FBI,” respectively. This year, both of the Oscar-nominated helmers will be in the small Colorado community for the premieres of their latest docus – Garbus’ “National Geographic first approached Garbus at Sundance 2015 about making a doc about Cousteau, the French sea explorer who spent decades warning the world about the climate crisis.

“It was always my intention to have this a story told mostly from inside of Arthur’s head and in his voice,” says Miller. Pollard says Ashe’s subtlety is one of the reasons why many young people today don’t know the tennis star. Another music documentary coming to Telluride is Matt Dillon’s first feature documentary. “El Gran Fellove,” which is making its North American debut after a 2020 San Sebastian world premiere. Dillon’s film chronicles Fellove’s life as a struggling musician in Cuba, his eventual success in Mexico, and the contagious love he had for music until his death in 2013. The actor-director began shooting back in 1999, but due to “life and work” did not start editing his footage until a few years ago.

“Additionally, Jimmy and I were really moved by the idea that this is a story about what connects us and our common humanity. We started working on this movie before the pandemic, but in the past two years we have all experienced isolation and the underlining of political differences. Telling a story about the connection of our common humanity has only become more opportune.”
