Andrew Haigh receives the Telluride Silver Medallion and unveils A Long Winter, his long-gestating adaptation of Colm Tóibín’s short story, starring Fred Hechinger and Caitríona Balfe. The world premiere at Telluride positions the film as a serious Oscar contender, with potential in adapted screenplay, directing and best picture, backed by distributor MUBI’s growing campaign reach.
