Movie buffs and skiing aficionados alike will descend upon Park City, Utah, on Thursday for the start of the Sundance Film Festival (https://www.sundance.org/festivals/sundance-film-festival/program). In search of the gems that carry critical torches all the way though next year's Oscar race, á la "Brooklyn" and "Boyhood," festival-goers will spend 11 days in the company of independent movies, A-list stars and snow-drenched mountains.
It's not a bad way to usher in the 2016 movie calendar, and while you're still catching up on the newly crowned Oscar nominees (http://forums.calgaryn.com/Directed by Antonio Campos • Written by Craig Shilowich • Starring Rebecca Hall, Michael C. Hall, Maria Dizzia, Tracy Letts and J. Smith-Cameron "Christine" is one of the most buzzed about films to hit Sundance this year. The Antonio Campos-helmed project is based on the true story of Christine Chubbuck, the ambitious but depressed Florida newscaster who infamously shot herself on live television in 1974. Starring Rebecca Hall as Christine, the movie profiles the life of a woman as she balances self-doubt with the demands of her job. -- LB), The Huffington Post will provide coverage of many of the premieres that we'll be discussing this time next year. This is, after all, the festival that gave us "Reservoir Dogs," "The Usual Suspects," "Little Miss Sunshine" and "(500) Days of Summer."
In the meantime, we've compiled a list of 14 narrative films that are high on our radar. Later this week, we'll spotlight the many documentaries that will spark buzz at the festival, along with live coverage from Park City. For now, we're looking forward to movies about cute dogs, slave rebellions and Daniel Radcliffe portraying a corpse.
The Sundance Film Festival is Jan. 21-31. See the full lineup here (https://www.sundance.org/festivals/sundance-film-festival/program).
