Sundance reveals rest of 2009 lineup

December 04, 2008 "What's really impactful right now is the degree to which globalization has affected how people conceive of subjects and how people make films," festival director Geoffrey Gilmore said. Gilmore pointed to the cross-cultural elements that have informed and financed many of the 118 official documentary and dramatic selections for January's festival, which announced its noncompetitive lineup Thursday. "The insularity has changed dramatically in terms of how people think about what's going on in the world," said Gilmore, citing such features as "Cold Souls," "Sin Nombre" and the previously announced opening-night salvo "Mary and Max," a clay-animated feature about the pen-pal relationship between an 8-year-old girl in Melbourne, Australia, and a 40-year-old New York man.
