The 42nd Sundance Film Festival is poised to commence this week in Park City, Utah, marking a pivotal moment as it prepares for its final edition in its long-standing home. This year also represents the first without its visionary founder, Robert Redford, who passed away in September at the age of 89.
Despite these significant transitions, the festival’s enduring commitment to groundbreaking cinema remains as vibrant and fresh as ever. A robust slate of 90 features is scheduled to premiere through 1 February, with pop sensation Charli XCX notably appearing in three of the showcased films.
