Here are all the premiere section titles.

It will be politics as usual at Sundance 2019.
The Robert Redford-founded festival never shies away from headline-grabbing fare, and the upcoming edition will be no exception with a slate that includes Annette Bening as California Sen. Dianne Feinstein in The Report, an Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez documentary titled Knock Down the House and a thriller that celebrates undocumented youth — aka Dreamers — who deliberately get detained by Ice in order to expose a shadowy, for-profit detention center in The Infiltrators. In addition, Sundance will debut a documentary about Harvey Weinstein aptly titled Untouchable , directed by Ursula Macfarlane and featuring interviews with former colleagues and accusers,...

Actress Shohreh Aghdashloo
Shohreh Aghdashloo Casts No Stones
By
Alex Simon
Iranian actress Shohreh Aghdashloo made history as the first Middle Eastern woman to be nominated for an Academy Award, when she received a Best Supporting Actress nod for her work in House of Sand and Fog (2003), opposite Ben Kingsley. Born in Tehran in 1952 to an upper middle class family of intellectuals, Shohreh spent her youth performing with various avant-garde theater companies during the country’s period of social and artistic freedom under the rule of Iran’s Shah.

Based upon her work with the latter group, Shohreh was cast by the two leaders of Iran’s New Wave filmmakers—Abbas Kiarostami and Ali Hatami—to play starring roles in Gozaresh and Sute-Delan, two seminal films of the period, both released in 1977.

Since we were kids, we knew the taxman was a bad guy. If we didn't get the message from the lyrics of The Beatles, or the wolfish version of the Sheriff of Nottingham in Disney’s Robin Hood, then we learned through the very real anguish our parents suffered every year, mid-April. As we grew up, we likely heard comedians joke about the IRS, and every character but Jesus appeared to be unforgiving of any person who’d take a job in tax collection. Occasionally we’d see iconic IRS agents, such as the one Charles Lane plays in Capra’s film of You Can’t Take it With You, but even when memorable and enjoyable, they are still mostly identifiably villains. In Abbas Kiarostami’s first film, The Report (Gozaresh), the "hero" is a tax collector, yet h ...
