Over Labor Day weekend, the cinerati pulled on their hiking boots and gathered in the Rocky Mountains to view some of the most anticipated films of the fall season. Colorado has hosted the Telluride Film Festival since 1974. Films chosen for this elite, intimate event often go on to become national favorites, including "Capote", "Brokeback Mountain" and, most recently, "Slumdog Millionaire".

Six films from this year’s festival have been selected to screen at Telluride By the Sea in the picturesque eastern city of Portsmouth, New Hampshire.

John Horn is film critic for the Los Angeles Times. He recently returned from Telluride in the mountains and joins us with a preview of Telluride By the Sea festival at The Music Hall in Portsmouth this weekend.

I saw Last Station at Telluride. A real crowd pleaser, but also an interesting film. Love, marriage and a very, very good cast. Especially Chris Plummer. Can you believe it - in 50 years he has NEVER been even nominated for an Oscar. We think it's high time.
