Soderbergh, ‘Freaky Tales’ and a Kristen Stewart double bill headline Sundance 2024
As last year’s treasures — among them “Past Lives,” “Passages,” “Birth/Rebirth,” “Mami Wata,” “Eileen,” “A Thousand and One” and “Kokomo City” — continue to garner awards attention, the Sundance Film Festival, established in 1984, hits a new milestone this year: the big 4-0. Organizers are planning to celebrate accordingly with a lineup of 82 U.S. and international films and eight episodic titles that balance big names and star power with the indie discoveries the festival prides itself on.
Unveiled today, 2024’s edition will run Jan. 18-28 in Park City, Utah, and debut new projects from directors Steven Soderbergh, Debra Granik and Ryan Fleck and Anna Boden, as well as celeb documentaries on figures ranging from Brian Eno and WNBA star Sue Bird to Superman himself, Christopher Reeve.

Then again, maybe 2024 will be the year of the moths — as in the Eastern Himalayan insect stars of Anirban Dutta and Anupama Srinivasan’s World Cinema documentary competition title, “Nocturnes.”
