The Sundance Film Festival is currently underway. Chances are — like us — you’re not in Park City, Utah. The good news is that the festival is showcasing more and more films by both video on demand and streaming online.
As part of the “Direct from the Sundance Film Festival” initiative, three films that being are being screened at the fest are simultaneously available nationwide through Sundance Selects. The films are:
- Michael Winterbottom’s Shock Doctrine, based on the book by Naomi Klein, a documentary that seeks to explain the rise of “disaster capitalism.”
- Josh and Benny Safdie’s Daddy Long Legs, an autobiographical fairy tale and bittersweet comedy about the responsibilities of parenthood.
- Daniel Grou’s 7 Days, a dark and gritty thriller that centers on a successful surgeon whose world is torn apart by the murder of his eight-year-old daughter.
Online, YouTube is making a selection of this year’s fest available for download. Films such as Tze Chun’s Children of Invention and Linas Phillips Bass Ackwards can be rented for $3.99.
