The 2019 Sundance Film Festival opens tomorrow! To preview the festival, we’ve put together a “cheat sheet” to the key feature films screening in Park City—a survey of titles (and some trailers) to provide a look at what’s on offer at this year’s edition.

Don’t miss our special Sundance episodes of the Film Comment Podcast starting with a preview episode available tomorrow morning, and check back over the next week and a half for informed discussions of festival highlights and ahead-of-the-curve coverage from Utah from our correspondents.
