World's largest non-commercial orienteering Film Festival - Sundance, he just getting started soon. Let's do the holidays first, then right after the New Year - the movie party begins! From January 23 - February 2, 2020, a total of 118 films in various categories will screen in Utah - Salt Lake City, Park City, and Sundance Mountain Resort. Around 120,000 visitors, 1300 journalists, nice numbers, right? The Sundance Festival pays less attention to glamour and more to real film and artistic values. As Sundance Institute founder and president Robert Redford himself says: "Independent artists create and enrich global culture." In these words, it is best to describe the reach and meaning of the Sundance Film Festival in today's global film culture.

 

118 films- 14 British production.

 

The festival opens January 23, 2020, in Park City - by Netflix rockumentary Taylor Swift: Miss Americana. Directed by Lana Wilson, the film brings us an intimate look at a pop icon that has characterized Western hemisphere pop music for the past few years.

We still need to mention Jerry Rothwell's movie The Reason I Jump, about autistic people who can't talk.

 

Fourteen films. Fourteen interesting topics in British production. From drama, thrillers, and documentaries to romantic comedies. Already, performing at Sundance itself has some weight. The competition among the films is great. However, a noteworthy performance of British cinema at the Sundance Film Festival 2020 can rightly be expected.
