It'll be a busy shopping season at next month's Sundance Film Festival, whose star-studded premieres are up for grabs by potential theatrical distributors.
Some premieres usually enter the independent-film showcase with U.S. distribution already lined up. But festival director John Cooper said all the premieres that Sundance announced Monday will be looking for distributors.
"I don't think that's ever happened before," said Cooper. "It makes for a much more exciting buyer's market, I think. At least, lively."
Among Sundance's big-name premieres: Kirsten Dunst's wedding romp Bachelorette, directed by Leslye Headland; Bruce Willis and Catherine Zeta-Jones' Las Vegas bookie caper Lay the Favorite, from filmmaker Stephen Frears; Richard Gere and Susan Sarandon's Wall Street saga Arbitrage, directed by Nicholas Jarecki; Sigourney Weaver and Robert De Niro in Rodrigo Cortes' paranormal thriller Red Lights; and actor-director Julie Delpy's 2 Days in New York, co-starring Chris Rock in a...

Though Sundance tends to be stereotyped as the place for heavy, dour stories of shattered lives, it’s actually a great place for comedies. Think Napoleon Dynamite, Little Miss Sunshine, The Kids Are All Right, and last year ‘s Our Idiot Brother and Cedar Rapids.
This year the non-competition premieres section is heavy with comedies, most of them fueled by women, among them Kirsten Dunst, Rashida Jones, Julie Delpy, Rebecca Hall, Ari Graynor and Parker Posey.
“There are lots of big female-driven comedies of different sorts. Everything from Julie Delpy’s 2 Days in New York, to [Dunst’s] Bachelorette and [Graynor’s] For a Good Time Call,...

Sundance Film Festival unveiled its Premieres and Documentary Premieres lineup Monday afternoon, completing its major announcements for feature films both in and out of competition. All world debuts, films screening in Sundance's Premiere's section will showcase a cross-section of new work from veteran directors, including Julie Delpy, Nicholas Jarecki, Josh Radnor, Spike Lee and more. Created last year, Documentary Premieres also features new work from established filmmakers. All eight in the section will have their world premieres, including new features from Stacy Peralta, Rory Kennedy, Joe Berlinger and Amy Berg. Curiously, Berg's new doc presents the story of the West Memphis Three, a story made famous via the "Paradise Lost" trio of docs by Berlinger and Bruce Sinofsky, which began in the '90s, with the latest installment having made the festival rounds earlier this fall.

At just 32 years old Mike Cahill has amassed a small but strong list of credits to his name. While studying economics at Georgetown University Cahill met Brit Marling, and a shared passion for cinema resulted in them collaborating on short films which Cahill would direct and Marling would star in. Several years later the pair worked on a documentary entitled Boxers and Ballerinas that explored the conflict between the U.S. and Cuba.
Cahill was the youngest field producer, editor and cinematographer for National Geographic Television and Film, and worked as an editor on the films Leonard Cohen: I’m Your Man and Everyone Stares: The Police Inside Out, as well as various television shows and music videos.
Cahill’s first feature film as director and screenwriter is Another Earth which he cowrote with Marling, who also plays the lead role. This acclaimed and thought-provoking movie focuses on two...

Sundance’s New Frontier category tends to be made of experimental cinematic art projects, but one documentary in this category stands out as particularly interesting to movie-lovers:
Room 237, directed by Rodney Ascher, which dives into the myriad theories surrounding Stanley Kubrick’s adaptation of Stephen King’s The Shining. “It’s a film-nerd love-fest,” says Sundance programmer Trevor Groth. “These obsessive people dissect The Shining, and they’ve watched it thousands of times, all finding their own coded meaning and language in it.” Like how the architecture of the Overlook Hotel doesn’t make any sense, with hallways leading...

The Sundance film festival, Robert Redford's annual celebration of independent film-making, yesterday revealed its competition lineup for January's event, which will take place as usual in Park City, Utah.
Debuting in the 16-strong dramatic competition are films starring Michael Cera, Paul Dano, Helen Hunt and Mary Elizabeth Winstead, while the documentary section features another 16 movies on subjects such as Chinese artist and political activist Ai Weiwei and the tax avoidance schemes of large Us companies.

Los Angeles — John Krasinski, Helen Hunt, Michael Cera, Amanda Seyfried, Danny Glover and rap star Common are among the stars with movies heading to the Sundance Film Festival.

Hunt stars with John Hawkes and William H. Macy in Ben Lewin's "The Surrogate," an unusual story about a 36-year-old man who has spent most of his life on an iron lung and now develops a plan to lose his virginity.
They're among 16 films in Sundance's competition for U.S. dramas, whose past winners included eventual Academy Awards nominees "Winter's Bone," "Precious" and "Frozen River.

Most of the Sundance Film Festival competition films announced Wednesday for the upcoming Park City festival January 19 - 29 are films that few have seen or heard of. That's what's exciting about Sundance, especially under the leadership of director John Cooper and programmer Trevor Groth. They are not playing games with agencies or managers --who wish they didn't have to wait to get the news along with everyone else earlier this week--they are really looking for discoveries, excitement, new news. It's about emerging talent.

It seems like we are only just diving into the awards season, but the 2012 film year is right around the corner. There is no better place to get a tast of what is to come than Park City Utah in late January. We’ll be attending the fest again (read last year’s round-up) and today we have the first competition titles. This is the same group from last year which titles include Martha Marcy May Marlene, Like Crazy, Another Earth, Pariah, Being Elmo, Take Shelter and many more. Are there more great films to be found this year? I have no doubt the line-up below will include break-out titles, so lets get to it.
At first glance, the most notable film is Antonio Campos’ Simon Killer, who last directed Afterschool and is in the Martha Marcy trio. It is easily my most-anticipated from this group, along with Quentin Dupieux‘s Rubber follow-up Wrong.

Many of the filmmakers whose work has been selected to screen at the 2012 Sundance Film Festival are "questioning the status quo of the American dream," says festival director John Cooper. “Having babies, in a relationship, getting married — a very authentic, independent way of looking at all that stuff.” The festival unveiled its official competition lineup Wednesday, and that always provides an occasion for independent film watchers to offer up their annual assessments of the health of the industry. But to hear Cooper tell it, the last few years of contraction and confusion have produced a solid new business.

Sometime late this month (or at the beginning of the month of December) the Sundance Film Festival will start unveiling the line-up for their 2012 edition. In an effort to give our readers a heads up on what we'll most likely be seeing at the fest, I've put together yet another predictions list. Caution: I cast a wide circle with a total of 80 predix so I'm bound to get some wrong, but as I've proven in prior years, I'm spot on with at least half the titles you'll find here. One of the most common questions I receive is: how do I know what'll be at the fest and where do I get my information? The answer: I've been going there seven years straight, been privileged to share professional relationships with those in the indie and foreign film sphere, but unless you're one of the programmers led by John Cooper, then...

If I had to sum up the buzz at Sundance this year in a single sentence, it would be this: Independent film is back. On a literal level, that sounds like the most trumped up of buzzy catch phrases — a lurch for positivity at a festival that, each year, needs a hook, a scenario, on which to hang its identity. Independent film, of course, never went away. That big blue snowflake on the right was the Sundance logo this year, and before each screening, a looped animated version of it revealed that it’s made up of a hundred tiny...

I thought Like Crazy was a good film, but it definitely was not one of my favorites or one of the best movie there. I didn't end up getting to see Circumstance.
Check out the full list of winners below:
2011 Sundance Film Festival Award Winners:
The Grand Jury Prize: Documentary was presented to How to Die in Oregon, directed by Peter D. Richardson. In 1994 Oregon became the first state to legalize physician-assisted suicide. How to Die in Oregon gently enters the lives of terminally ill Oregonians to illuminate the power of death with dignity.
The Grand Jury Prize: Dramatic was presented to Like Crazy, directed by Drake Doremus; written by Drake Doremus and Ben York Jones. A young American guy and...

The Sundance Film Festival is now over and here is the recognition. Sundance Film Festival announced the Jury, Audience, Next! And other special award-winners during a ceremony in Park City, Utah. Highlights of the awards ceremony can be seen on the Sundance’s web site here. The Jury Awards were selected in four categories, including U.S. Dramatic Competition, U.S. Documentary Competition, World Cinema Dramatic Competition and World Cinema Documentary Competition. The Audience Awards were selected by the festival’s audiences. “Success at Sundance can be measured in terms of attendance, sponsorships, acquisitions, even the weather,” said Sundance Film Festival director John Cooper in a press release. “Ultimately, it’s about the films themselves – were they well received? Did they resonate with the audience enough to have a life beyond these 10 days? And this year, the answer is resounding yet.” The film festival featured 118 films, representing 29 countries and 40 first-time filmmakers.

The 2011 Sundance Film Festival Awards went down tonight in Park City. While the biggest surprise was the volume of films acquired by distributor, in the end, the story was about excellence in independent film making. The big winner of the evening was the Drake Doremus-directed love story Like Crazy, which took the Grand Jury Prize for Drama. The film was the first major deal of a festival full of them, with a $4 million acquisition by Paramount and Indian Paintbrush that started a flurry of transactions. The event was hosted by Tim Blake Nelson, who starred in the festival film Flypaper, and who materialized dressed as a snowflake. Festival director John Cooper did the same. No one held the silliness against them, because they launched right into proceedings that moves at such a swift pace, I wondered if they were double parked outside. Here's the list of winners: 2011 Sundance Film...

I love the magical communal moment that occurs at Sundance at the end of every movie just before the theater lights come up. While the credits roll, hundreds and hundreds of moviegoers bow their heads in prayer, murmuring over tiny votive candles, and the auditorium appears to be dotted with sacred points of light piercing the darkness. At first I thought those miniature beacons reflected this year’s Sundance marketing and design theme, “Be There,” articulated in a warm voice-over narration by festival founder Robert Redford in the video tag before every screening. “Imagine a world without stories,” Redford murmurs,...

And they're off ... As the Sundance Film Festival kicked off on Thursday, fest founder Robert Redford gave his annual state-of-Sundance press conference – “and as usual,” says Gregory Ellwood, “it was a mostly dry affair.” Redford’s spiciest quote came in response to a question about whether he had plans to retire from the festival or the Sundance Institute: “No, I have not thought about retiring,” he said. “I am gonna die, but I haven’t thought about retiring.” Festival programming chief John Cooper, meanwhile, predicted a big, crowded festival, and a...

Every year on opening day Robert Redford hosts a press kick-off to the Sundance Film Festival in the Egyptian, the old theater in town. They have followed a pretty standard pattern in the past. Redford discusses the difficulties that independent films face, the ones Sundance still tries to remedy, even as they face their own problems.
This year the festival lost one of their more popular screening venues, The Racquet Club, and they continue to deal with the “riff-raff,” as festival director John Cooper calls the ambush marketers that glut the street. But Redford chimed in that the festival had always faced problems. Money, for many years, was a huge concern, he said. There were also misfires in programming. Redford told a funny story about an early effort to present Way Down East, the great D.W. Griffith silent with Lillian Gish, as part of their curation...

Jonah Hill in Cyrus, which debuted at Sundance 2010. Sundance can be equal parts glittering and ascetic. Thursday night, as industry insiders lined up for a midnight screening of festival selection Silent House, fedora-flaunting revelers boozed it up to beats from Snoop at Park City’s watering hole, Harry O.’s. More and more, the cinema-industrial complex is coming to rely on Sundance as the means to catch eyeballs for any film with a budget scantier than, say, The Dark Knight Rises. It feels like the Sundance pedigree increasingly means quite a lot, as filmmakers fight for the American public’s fractured attention span. Last year’s festival, under the return-to-its-roots ethos of new festival director John Cooper, proved that you can program eclectically and connect with broader audiences, with films like Cyrus, Blue Valentine, and Winter’s Bone. In fact, Globe-winner and Oscar contender The Kids Are All Right started...

Kevin Smith's made his first horror movie and some people don't like it. Not that anyone's actually seen it yet... Clerks director and Sundance alumnus Smith is due to premiere his inaugural fright-flick, Red State on Sunday 23rd, but the recent reports suggest the right-wing Westboro Baptist Church plan to stage a protest outside the Eccles Theatre where it will screen. But today in a level headed response at the opening press conference, the Sundance's Institute's John Cooper played down the Church group's intended stance suggesting the...

The Film Stage is here at Park City, Utah for the Sundance Film Festival. We kicked off things yesterday seeing the Shorts Program Vol. 1, Project Nim, and a midnight screening of Silent House. A few hours of sleep later, we shuttled over to Press HQ in an attempt to secure tickets for Kevin Smith‘s Red State. Before any films began yesterday, Sundance officially kicked off with an opening press conference from Founder and President of Sundance Institute Robert Redford, Sundance Institute Executive Director Keri Putnam, and Sundance Film Festival Director John Cooper. We’ve culled together a few highlights, which you can see below.

Sundance Overview From Mike Fleming: Is Dealmaking Avalanche In The Forecast? Handicapping The High Priority Acquisitions (Freelancer Sharon Swart is helping Deadline's Sundance coverage.) Sundance officially kicked off this evening in Park City with the festival’s first screenings of films, many with various rights available. Irish cop comedy The Guard has just started screening at the Egyptian Theatre, with buyers including Harvey Weinstein in the house. Other films showing tonight are the Harry Belafonte documentary Sing Your Song, documentary Project Nim (which HBO just picked up), U.S. competition drama Pariah, and midnight screening Silent House, a horror thriller from the filmmakers behind 2003’s beyond-scary Open Water. Earlier at the Egyptian today, Sundance founder Robert Redford, Sundance Institute exec director Keri Putnam, and festival director John Cooper held their annual opening day press conference. Redford wanted to talk about the Sundance Institute, which is celebrating its 30th anniversary.

Park City - Sundance Film Festival founder Robert Redford, Director John Cooper and new Executive Director Kerri Putman answered the media's questions during the indie film event's annual kick-off press conference Thursday afternoon and as usual it was a mostly dry affair. Redford spent a good portion of his opening remarks discussing the Sundance Institute's global initiatives and continuing mantra to do "whatever we can in [our] pledge to help new filmmakers." It was Redford's programming guru, John Cooper, who had the most revelations. After an admittedly stinging setback with a loss in sponsorships due to the overall economy in 2010,...

Among the topics at hand today as Robert Redford held court in Park City, Utah to open the 2011 Sundance Film Festival: The Sundance Institute's commitment to artists, their plans for global domination, how the fest is getting with the times (Twitter!), and of course, Kevin Smith's Red State. Because even in a wide-ranging convo about the storied indie mecca that Redford built, Smith's attention-grabbing, not-screening-for-press Christian homosexual murder pic had to steal the spotlight. Highlights of what Redford, festival director John Cooper, and Executive Director Keri Putnam had to say (including awkward chatter about marketing "riff raff" and rival fest Slamdance) after the jump.

As the Sundance Film Festival kicks off tonight in Park City, Utah, a handful of titles have already been picked up for theatrical distribution. Sony Pictures Classics seems particularly active in acquiring material, having recently landed Jeff Nichols' "Take Shelter," an apocalyptic drama that re-teams the filmmaker with his "Shotgun Stories" star Michael Shannon. Festival director John Cooper has already taken note of the bustling market, sensing "a lot of excitement out there." A little electricity in the wintry atmosphere can benefit both buyers and sellers, though some are concerned that the festival...

The Sundance Film Festival runs from January 20-30, 2011.
Last year’s Sundance selection was pretty darn good. Winter’s Bone, Exit Through the Gift Shop, Catfish, happythankyoumoreplease, and Buried, were among the standouts. Festival director John Cooper has made good on his promise (and Redford‘s direction) to reinvent the festival, bringing it back to its roots of challenging, engaging films.
This year looks promising as well.
The opening films may or may not be part of that assessment. History would dictate they won’t be. No one was bringing up last year’s opening films, Howl or Restrepo in their year end “Best of” lists though both were fine films; they just weren’t inspiring so as to persist in memory.
This year’s opening films include Pariah, a film by Dee Rees, about a young girl who is torn between her...

Well, thanks to Sundance Selects, the theatrical and video-on-demand film label, five films being screened at the fest will simultaneously be available nationwide, on demand, on most major cable systems.
