It's the final slate of films to play the Sundance Film Festival in Utah. Next year, the festival moves to Boulder, Colorado, making this year's lineup historic.

Out of competition, the premieres include Gregg Araki's new movie, I Want Your Sex, featuring Olivia Wilde, Cooper Hoffman, and Charli XCX.
