The 47th Telluride Film Festival was scheduled to take place on September 4–7, 2020. In May 2020, it was announced that the festival would kick off a day earlier on September 3 for safety purposes. However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Colorado, the festival announced its cancellation on July 14, 2020. Telluride was due to honor the Silver Medallion to Chloé Zhao, Anthony Hopkins, and Kate Winslet.
Telluride announced the year's initial line-up on August 3, 2020. Ammonite and Concrete Cowboy were set to world premiere at the festival, but the two films were screened for the first time at the 2020 Toronto International Film Festival instead. Nomadland was also set to premiere at the festival, but it premiered at the 2020 Venice Film Festival. Telluride held a drive-in screening of the film at the Rose Bowl in Los Angeles.
