The march towards the 2009 Sundance Film Festival has taken another giant step with the announcement of the lineups for the U.S. and World Cinema Dramatic and Documentary Competitions and the out-of-competition sections of Premieres, Spectrum, New Frontier, and Park City at Midnight.
The numbers are impressive. According to the Sundance Institute, 118 feature-length films were selected including 89 World Premieres, 17 North American premieres, and four U.S. Premieres. Together they represent 21 countries with 42 first-time filmmakers, including 28 in competition. These films were selected from 3,661 feature-length film submissions composed of 1,905 U.S. and 1,756 international feature-length films.
"This year's films are not narrowly defined. Instead we have a blurring of genres, a crossing of boundaries: geographic, generational, socio-economic and the lik," said Festival Director Geoffrey Gilmore. "The result is both an exhilarating and emotive festival in which traditional mythologies are suspended, discoveries are made, and creative storytelling is embraced."
The 2009 Sundance Film Festival takes place from January 15-25 in Park City, Utah.
