The Sundance Film Festival announced its 2021 program this week, a slimmed-down lineup of 72 feature films to be unveiled during an ambitious hybrid event that will be mostly online.
Festival director Tabitha Jackson acknowledged how things may still change between now and the beginning of the festival, and how hard it is to predict their impact on the event. “I think that one of the amazing things about film is that the audience makes the meaning to a large extent. And so even from a month or so out, things might feel different in January. It’s going to be a new year, it’s going to be a new political administration in this country, the vaccines will be further along, it will perhaps be a more hopeful time. And the meaning of these films will change again as we watch them.”

Wonder Woman 1984 Seems Like a Bad Plan

Reviews for
Wonder Woman 1984 are out now, and from the early access reviews, it has become clear that women of color have not been given the same access to see and review the film as their white counterparts which seems very much like a mistake.
Film criticism is still a very male-dominated industry, but when a film comes out featuring a female director, a sequel to one of the most successful female-led superhero movies of all time, starring a Latino man as the lead antagonist, maybe just maybe the studio should work to make sure women, and especially women of color, have a place in the review circuit, especially considering one of the big issues with the first film was that there were so few women of color with names in the film.
