The final pieces of the 2017 Sundance Film Festival feature film program fall into place today, as Sundance Institute announces THE LINEUP for Premieres, Documentary Premieres, Midnight, Spotlight, Kids and Special Events. The Festival hosts screenings in Park City, Salt Lake City and at Sundance Mountain Resort January 19-29. Three projects announced today are part of The New Climate, the Festival's new environmental program: Rancher, Farmer, Fisherman (Documentary Premieres), Look & See: A Portrait of Wendell Berry (Spotlight) and RISE (Special Events).
John Cooper, Director of the Sundance Film Festival, said, "Some of the most pressing themes that we can trace through the Festival lineup - the environment, political upheaval, social change - are distilled to their very human essences in both comic and dramatic stories. These stories, and the conversations they spark, start here and will extend well beyond the mountain and the Festival in the months ahead." Trevor Groth, Director of Programming for the Sundance Film Festival, said, "Powerful visions of our times - past, present and future - resound throughout these sections. Inspired storytellers are shining a light on urgent issues or providing an exhilarating escape from them. From citizen journalists to robust and powerful roles for women - in front of and behind the camera - these projects are a testament to the force and value of the individual."Videos
