The 48th Telluride Film Festival took place from September 2–6, 2021 in Telluride, Colorado, United States.[1] After the cancellation of the previous year's event due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Colorado, the festival required proof of vaccination, a negative COVID-19 test within 72 hours and masks worn indoors to prevent the spread of COVID-19.[2]
Director Barry Jenkins, who previously annually has curated the festival's Calling Cards and Great Expectations programs, was appointed as this year's guest director.[3] Telluride honored Riz Ahmed, Jane Campion, and Peter Dinklage as the awardees of the Silver Medallion.[4] Film historian Annette Insdorf received the Special Medallion award.[5] Luke Dorman, Meow Wolf’s Lead Graphic Designer, was chosen as the creative behind the edition's poster.
