19 Sundance Movies to Watch Before Seeing These Filmmakers' New Fall 2024 Releases
21/09/2024
It's time to stock up on pumpkin spice everything and gear up for sweater weather because Sunday marks the first day of fall!
This time of year, as you patiently wait for news about the 2025 Festival, a slew of great films from Sundance alums will hit big and small screens to tide you over. Step out and catch a dark comedy starring George Clooney and Brad Pitt (Wolfs), the inspiring story of the rise of singer and producer Pharrell Williams (Piece By Piece), or the haunting reimagining of a classic vampire tale starring Bill Skarsg rd and Lily-Rose Depp (Nosferatu).
But before you cozy up at your local theater, familiarize yourself with the earlier titles from filmmakers who have connections to Sundance Institute and whose latest works release this fall.
