“Since the reasons for travel are often so romantic and incoherent, the traveler often finds himself in a location that exists only in his mind.”

In 2021, we will offer an online platform featuring seven days of premieres, events, artist talks, and cutting-edge XR exhibitions. We will also be partnering with independent cinema communities across the U.S. and beyond to safely host in-person events. From January 28 through February 3, adventurous audiences and indie film lovers everywhere will come together to be the first to discover and celebrate the bold, creative visions and exciting new talent that people will be talking about all year.

Get more details and set up your new Festival account at festival.sundance.org.

In an earlier press release, the festival did say “globally,” so it is not geolocked?

ETA: Single-ticked screenings are restricted to the US.

With the Explorer pass, international audiences will be able to enjoy the New Frontier Program and our Indie Series programs.

I’m about to set up my own schedule, but I really recommend the Ivorian prison drama Night of the Kings.

another set of recs via IllumiNative (The original post is here.):

Four Indigenous films are premiering at this year’s Sundance Film Festival, which starts this Thursday. Follow along this week as we take a closer look at each film. 

Kicking off the festival is the short “This is The Way We Rise,” which follows Kanaka Maoli (Hawaiian) slam poet @jamaicaosorio Heolimeleikalani Osorio as her art is reinvigorated by her calling to protect sacred sites atop Mauna Kea, Hawai'i. Director @ciaraleilacy is a Kanaka Maoli (Hawaiian) filmmaker focused on challenging the creative and political status quo. “This is The Way We Rise” is part of the documentary shorts program that starts at 7am January 28th. Check https://festival.sundance.org/ to screen from home. #NativeFilm #protectmaunakea Alisi Telengut @alisitelengut is a Canadian artist of Mongolian origin whose animated short film “The Fourfold” will start screening on Thursday. “The Fourfold” is an exploration of the Indigenous worldview and wisdom based on ancient shamanistic traditions and animistic beliefs in Siberia and Mongolia. The screening for this short is available on-demand throughout the Festival with purchase of a pass. Check https://festival.sundance.org/ for when the on-demand window begins. #NativeFilm #sundancefilmfestival

The Diaspora Suite: Ephraim Asili

“Ephraim Asili’s five-part series The Diaspora Suite is both a personal and global study of the African diaspora. Created over the course of seven years, every film in the series has a unique rhythm built around a specific amalgam of footage shot in American and international locations — each an important site within the African diaspora. Forged Ways (2011) travels between Harlem and Addis Ababa, Ethiopia; American Hunger (2013) features Philadelphia, Ocean City, and Cape Coast, Ghana; in Many Thousands Gone (2014), Harlem and Salvador, Brazil; in Kindah (2016), Hudson, New York, and Jamaica; and in Fluid Frontiers (2017), Detroit and Windsor, Canada. ...”

Friday Releases for March 12

Friday is the busiest day of the week for new releases, so we've decided to collect them all in one place. Friday Releases for March 12 include Cosmic Sin, The Human Voice, Once Upon A Time, and more.

Cosmic Sin

Cosmic Sin, the new movie from Edward Drake, is out today.

Bruce Willis and Frank Grillo star in the new epic sci-fi adventure set in the year 2524, four hundred years after humans started colonizing the outer planets. Retired Military General James Ford (Willis) is called back into service after soldiers on a remote planet are attacked by a hostile alien fleet. The threat against the human race escalates into an inevitable interstellar war. General Ford teams up with General Eron Ryle (Grillo) and a team of elite soldiers in a race to stop the imminent attack before it is too late.

The Human Voice

The Human Voice, the new movie from Pedro Almodóvar, is out today.

A woman watches time passing next to the suitcases of her ex-lover (who is supposed to come pick them up, but never arrives) and a restless dog who doesn’t understand that his master has abandoned him.

The Truffle Hunters

The Truffle Hunters, the new movie from Michael Dweck and Gregory Kershaw, is out today.

THE TRUFFLE HUNTERS follows a handful of men, seventy to eighty years young, in Piedmont, Italy, on the search for the elusive Alba truffle. They’re guided by a secret culture passed down through generations, as well as by the noses of their cherished and expertly trained dogs. The documentary subtly explores the devastating effects of climate change and deforestation on an age-old tradition through a visually stunning narrative that celebrates life and exalts the human spirit.

Yes Day

Yes Day, the new movie from Miguel Arteta, is out today.

Always feeling like they have to say NO to their kids and co-workers, Allison and Carlos decide to give their three kids a YES DAY – where for 24 hours the kids make the rules. Little did they know that they’d be going on a whirlwind adventure around Los Angeles, that would bring the family closer to each other than ever before.

Insight

Insight, the new movie from Ken Zheng and Livi Zheng, is out today.

Two brothers, Jian (Ken Zheng) and Bao, are martial artist with extraordinary ability of clairvoyance. Despite sharing a strong bond during their childhood due to surviving their father’s abuse together, the two grew apart and choose different paths in life. Having not seen each other for several years, Jian one day hears a shocking news; Bao apparently committed suicide in Los Angeles. Jian refuses to believe that his brother would commit suicide and resolves himself uncover what really happened to his brother. He flew to the US to investigate and find justice for Bao’s death. LA detective Abby (Madeline Zima) and Carl (Tony Todd) under Captain Duke (Keith David) became involved in the investigation. Initially, they did not believe in Jian’s sixth sense. But, after Jian helped solve a case, Abby began to believe in his intuition. Together they sought justice and risked their lives fighting against a high-tech criminal who sought to exploit the sibling’s ability for his own gain.

Long Weekend

Long Weekend, the new movie from Stephen Basilone, is out today.

Bart’s (Finn Wittrock) chance encounter with the enigmatic Vienna (Zoë Chao) leads to a whirlwind weekend together. The two fall fast and hard, but both carry secrets that could be their undoing or the chance for a fresh start.

Paper Lives

Paper Lives, the new movie from Can Ulkay, is out today.

In the streets of Istanbul, ailing waste warehouse worker Mehmet takes a small boy under his wing and must soon confront his own traumatic childhood.

The Inheritance

The Inheritance, the new movie from Ephraim Asili, is out today.

A young man inherits his grandmother’s house and, with the encouragement of his girlfriend, turns it into a Black socialist collective where community forms the basis of family.

Come True

Come True, the new movie from Anthony Scott Burns, is out today.

Looking for an escape from her recurring nightmares, 18-year-old Sarah (Julia Sarah Stone) submits to a university sleep study, but soon realizes she’s become the conduit to a frightening new discovery.

The One

The One, the new TV series from Howard Overman, is out today.

The One is set five minutes in the future, in a world where a DNA test can find your perfect partner – the one person you’re genetically predisposed to fall passionately in love with. No matter how good your relationship, which one of us can honestly say we haven’t thought about whether there is someone better out there? What if a hair sample is all it takes to find them? The idea is simple, but the implications are explosive. We will never think of love and relationships in the same way again.

Once Upon A Time

Once Upon A Time, the new EP from Chika, is out today.

Ephraim Asili: Fluid Frontiers is the fifth and final film in the series entitled The Diaspora Suite, exploring Asili’s personal relationship to the African Diaspora. Shot along the Detroit River, Fluid Frontiers explores the relationship between concepts of resistance and liberation, exemplified by the Underground Railroad, Broadside Press, and artworks of local Detroit Artists. All of the poems are read from original copies of Broadside Press publications by natives of the Detroit/Windsor region, and were shot without rehearsal.

Interview with Ephraim Asili at The Creative Independent. In our conversation, he discusses coming of age in Philly’s activist circles and the ways that collective-living, social justice, and mindfulness shaped the lens through which he sees the world.
