"The Sundance Film Festival is rolling out the lineup for its landmark 41st edition, where organizers and attendees will bid farewell to the festival's founder, the late Robert Redford, and its longtime home of Park City, Utah. After announcing the feature and episodic program last week, on Monday, the Sundance Institute revealed this year's substantial lineup of short film selections."
"In the nonfiction category, shorts transport viewers to an outsider community on the edge of the Mississippi River in New Orleans ("Some Kind of Refuge"), the days following Luigi Mangione's arrest ("Luigi"), and a therapy collective in 1970s Los Angeles("Going Sane"). In U.S. and international fiction, directors explore tense familial dynamics ("I'm Glad You're Dead Now," "Candy Bar"), musical inspirations ("How Brief," "Jazz Infernal"), the burden of pregnancy ("Marga en el DF," "Fruit"), and the dramatic life of a thespian ("Crisis Actor," "Faux Bijoux")."
The Sundance Film Festival's 41st edition will mark a farewell to founder Robert Redford and to Park City, Utah, while unveiling its short film program. The Sundance Institute revealed 54 short films across fiction, nonfiction, and animation, representing 22 countries and territories in eight categories. Selections include both established and emerging filmmakers, many attending world or North American premieres. Nonfiction shorts depict outsider communities, criminal aftermath, and 1970s therapy collectives. Fiction shorts examine familial tensions, musical inspirations, pregnancy burdens, and theatrical lives. Animation entries portray varied real and imagined worlds, and the program is noted for inventive, dynamic filmmaking and broad thematic variety.
