IndieWire has published its extensive survey regarding the cameras and lenses that shot 40 narrative films at the 2023 Sundance Film Festival. We took the data and organize it in order to find a segmentation and tendency, by also comparing it to the previous years. The Arri Alexa Mini remains the king. However, diversity is significantly reduced. No Red, no Blackmagic, and no mirrorless. That’s unfortunate.

Yesterday, the "in competition" titles at the 2010 Sundance Film Festival were announced. As anyone who's ever attended knows, however, that's only half the party. Plenty of films screen there that aren't in competition, and there are some big ones popping up this year. We know this because the finalized list was released just this afternoon.
The big one for many of you readers is undoubtedly "The Runaways." You Twlighters know all about this one, a biopic focusing on the '70s rock band that launched the careers of Lita Ford (Scout Taylor-Compton) and Joan Jett (Kristen Stewart). It's the world premiere, so I expect this year's festival to see an influx of Twilighter fans who can't get enough of their KStew. Not to mention "New Moon" newcomer Dakota Fanning, who plays Cherie Currie.
There's also the Ryan Reynolds-starring thriller, "Buried," which is part of the fest's always-excellent series of midnight screenings.

Sundance released their slate for 2010. It includes:43 documentaries on the Middle East12 films about friends who 'discover' something33 movies about people you've never heard about1 comedyHopefully the lineup this year is strong but it doesn't look that way compared to last year. Last year we had Push (Precious), that Lil Wayne documentary that never went anywhere, Mystery Team which might make my top ten, Moon, Mike Tyson documentary, Cold Souls. Just so much last January that was excellent. I hope I don't go out therer and freeze my tail off just to see...I don't know, a documentary about a former Pakistani prime minister or something silly like that.Here's the lineup so far: Premieres To showcase the diversity to contemporary independent cinema, the Sundance Film Festival Premieres section offers the latest work from American and international directors as well as world premieres of highly anticipated films.
