My sister had an opportunity to purchase tickets at the box office yesterday and was able to get tickets for six movies. As it stands right now, we will be seeing five documentaries, four dramatic films and five foreign films (two documentaries and three dramatic.)
You can read more about these films at http://sundance.bside.com/2010/. In the meantime, here's a brief synopsis of each:
Lourdes - The filmmaker is described as "nestling Lourdes between religious satire and redemption story." The subject of miracles is explored.
Waiting for Superman- An American-made documentary that explores all aspects of the public school system by following some promising students through their academic life.
New Low - A comedic love triangle -- yay, a comedy! It was written and directed by 25-year-old, Adam Bowers (who also stars in it) and shot on borrowed equipment by whichever friends happened to be available at the time.
Last Train Home - A Canadian filmmaker made this documentary about the exodus that happens in China every New Year's Holiday. While this is considered the world's largest human migration, the focus is on one couple's story and it sounds like it ends up being a much broader story about China the plight of its people.
12th and Delaware - An exploration of the abortion debate by turning the cameras on an intersection in Florida where an abortion clinic and a pro-life office sit right across the street from each other.
Waste Land - A documentary about a Brazilian artist who creates realistic images of people out of materials found where they live. The film documents his latest project, using garbage to portray the people who live around the largest landfill in Rio de Janeiro.
We will be buying more tickets on Tuesday and I'm confident we will be seeing no less than 13 movies during Sundance 2010. Woo Hoo -- we are on our way!
