This year’s Sundance Film Festival is boasting a jam-packed lineup of 118 films. 

According to The Hollywood Reporter, this year’s is female-powered screening films such as Julie Taymor’s The Glorias, featuring Alicia Vikander, Julianne Moore and Steinem as her trailblazing feminist self, Lana Wilson’s doc Taylor Swift: Miss Americana, which delves into the pop icon’s transformation from apolitical star, to well a very political icon, and Nicole Newnham and Jim LeBrecht’s doc Crip Camp, about a 1970s summer camp for disabled teens produced via the Obamas’ Higher Ground banner. 

This year will also mark Sundance director John Cooper’s 11-year run at the helm of the indie film festival. Cooper said of the 2002 lineup and the decision to feature female filmmakers: “You’re basically telling people there’s a possibility. Someone will see, ‘Oh, that person looks like me, and they got in. There’s a pathway there.’ I think that does inspire people to take action and follow their dreams.”

The 2020 Sundance Film Festival runs January 23–February 2 in Park City.
