Ten Sundance Film Festival titles worth streaming [The Dallas Morning News ]
With films screening virtually and in-person at satellite locations across the country, Sundance is a hybrid independent film festival this year. In Dallas, the Texas Theatre is showing 13 movies, and three of them have Texas ties. But the majority of the weeklong program’s 70-plus feature films will only be available to North Texans through virtual screenings. Here are some of the hottest Sundance titles to catch in your home theater from Jan. 28 to Feb. 3.
As always, documentaries have a strong presence at America’s first major film festival of the year. Director Rodney Ascher has captured the strange world of obsessive fans searching for hidden meaning in Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining with Room 237 and focused on sleep paralysis perceived as demonic visitation in The Nightmare. His new documentary, A Glitch in the Matrix, explores the idea that we are living in a computer simulation with testimony from believers and science-fiction-inspired imagery.
