As I walked briskly toward the Sheridan Opera House to catch a tripartite program -- a screening of "Slow Food Story," a documentary about its founder, the charismatic Carlo Petrini, followed by the awarding of the inaugural Food, Inc. Movement Award to Alice Waters, and a lively and emotional panel discussion among Alice, the film's director, Stefano Sardo, Michael Pollan, and Berlinale head Dieter Kosslick -- I run into Davia Nelson, one of the Kitchen Sisters, walking briskly in the opposite direction.

The 40th annual Telluride Film Festival just announced its lineup of movies. The Labor Day weekend fest will include the North American premieres of hotly anticipated movies like the Coen Brothers' "Inside Llewyn Davis," as well as debuts of movies like Alfonso Cuaron's "Gravity" and Jason Reitman's "Labor Day."
