It Might Be the Most Overlooked Deal in Streaming. Now It's Back for Another Year.
"The Sundance Film Festival's days in Park City are drawing to a close, but its online component, which allows viewers to stream every movie in its competitive sections and a handful of others, is still going strong, at least through midnight on Sunday. The lineup excludes some of the festival's starry premieres-sorry, you'll have to head to a theater to see the Charli XCX mockumentary The Moment, out this Friday-but there's still plenty to sample, even from a relatively weak lineup."
"In 1995, Tamra Davis was coming off the success of Billy Madison and newly married to a Beastie Boy. So when Mike D and the gang headed to Australia to headline a traveling music festival called Summersault, she took her video camera along, capturing a ramshackle tour diary whose footage she rediscovered while fleeing the Palisades wildfire in 2025. With performances by Sonic Youth, Foo Fighters, Pavement, and Bikini Kill, whose Kathleen Hanna does double duty as an onscreen interviewer,"
Sundance's online component continues streaming many of the festival's competitive films through midnight Sunday, though some starry premieres are excluded and must be seen in theaters. Online screenings can sell out, and jury award winners will be readded to TBA slots after winners are announced on Friday. Several recommended titles are available to stream, including Closure and FilipiƱana. Tamra Davis's documentary recounts the 1995 Summersault tour in Australia, featuring Sonic Youth, Foo Fighters, Pavement, and Bikini Kill. Davis rediscovered her footage while fleeing the Palisades wildfire in 2025 and focuses her camera on the few women onstage as she navigates rising mainstream stardom.
