2016 Sundance Film Festival inconnu 01/24/16 (Sun) 02:58:45 No.6600

Anyone on /tv/ attending? I was thinking about going this year, but decided next year would be better so my buddy can come with.

Which movies are you most excited about? Which movies are getting positive buzz? Which one will be the crown jewel?

Discuss all things Sundance and Robert Redford.

The ones I'm interested in so far:

>Goat (frat-hazing drama featuring Nick Jonas)

>Other People (black comedy featuring Jesse Plemmons and Molly Shannon)

>Manchester by the Sea (community/family drama featuring my boy Kyle Chandler; also Casey Affleck)

>Christine (Rebecca Hall plays an anchor who an heroes on a live broadcast)

I'm really rooting for Rebecca Hall. She's a very underrated actress who has never relied on looks to get a role. Then again, I'll always root for a movie to be good—it's a win for the fans of the medium.

I have no answers, only more questions.

Was Sundance "better" before so many movie stars started showing up?

Are there any independent studios left? Most "indie films" seem to come from branches of large established Hollywood studios with names like "Sony Pictures Classics".

And what is the best film festival in the US ... this or New York Film Festival or something else?

I'd gladly watch most of these int'l documentaries http://www.sundance.org/festivals/sundance-film-festival/program/WDC-guide

also interested in documentaries about James Foley, JT Leroy, Christine Chubbuck

The trend for their American documentaries seems to be "Congratulations viewer, your worldview was correct all along!" That's not very challenging or subversive.

As for the others I might try Antibirth

> Filmmaker Eddie Alcazar and musician Flying Lotus have been traveling the festival circuit with their disturbing and mesmerizing short film, "FUCKKKYOUUU," which most recently made waves at a sold out screening at the 2016 Sundance Film Festival. Flying Lotus, whose music provides the short with an unnervingly hypnotic score, just premiered the entire short film online via YouTube, and it's sure to be one of the most beautifully nightmarish pieces of cinema you'll see all week.
