This year looks a little less interesting, but Sundance has always relied on the surprise-factor. You go into most of the films not knowing much about them. It’s a going-back-to-the-roots experience for cinephiles. However, if it’s big-name directors you are looking for then they nowhere to be found this year. Unless you think Dan Gilroy fits into that category. If that’s your thing then the biggies this year are Gilroy reuniting with his “Nightcrawler” star Jake Gyllenhaal for “Velvet Buzzsaw,” there’s also director Gavin Hood’s UK/US intelligence community indictment “Official Secrets,” and screenwriter extraordinaire Scott Z. Burns’ directing debut “The Report.” The docs look great, a Sundance specialty, and include world premieres of new projects by Nick Broomfield and Alex Gibney. Contribute Hire me
