Also debuting at Telluride for the second year is Simon Stone’s \"Elsinore,\" which mirrors the events of its characters while reflecting 1989 AIDS-era British actor Ian Charleson's portrayal of Hamlet. The festival will also honor Andrew Haigh, Sandra Huller, and John Malkovich with special tributes. A surprise booking will be announced later. Guest Director Rebecca Hall will present six films, including Kenneth Lonergan’s \"Margaret\" and Charlie Kaufman’s \"Synecdoche, New York.\" The festival runs until Labor Day weekend.",
