Link copiedThe Sundance Film Festival has long been known for premiering some of the most original — and ultimately the most award-winning — indie titles of the year. From best picture winner at last year’s Oscars, “CODA,” to this year’s sleeper hit, “Cha Cha Real Smooth,” the festival continues to select artistic fare that poses a serious threat to blockbusters come awards season.
The music of folk-rock duo and iconic queer musicians Amy Ray and Emily Saliers, collectively known as the Indigo Girls, is getting the big-screen treatment in the documentary After five years, Sebastián Silva returns to feature filmmaking with “Rotting in the Sun.” A film about filmmaking, the title set in Mexico City stars Silva as a spiraling, strung-out director whose vacation disappearance catches the attention of comedian and social media personality Jordan Firstman. Things heat up in the queer-sex satire when Firstman takes it upon himself to launch a search for Silva and name the director’s housekeeper as a prime suspect.
Competing alongside “Mutt” in the U.S. Dramatic Competition section are queer films “Theater Camp,” “Shortcomings,” “The Persian Version” and “Fancy Dance.” The debut feature of queer Native American filmmaker Erica Tremblay, “Fancy Dance” showcases the talents of up-and-coming actor Lily Gladstone, who plays a young Indigenous woman in Oklahoma who is fighting to keep her family together against all odds.
