Sundance Festival Kicks Off With Taylor Swift, 'Crip Camp'

Plenty of change is in the air at the Sundance Film Festival, where some 118 feature films are set to premiere over the next 10 days beginning Thursday. Streaming companies are now among the most likely companies to scoop up buzzed-about breakthroughs. The marquee event of opening day will belong to the feverishly anticipated Taylor Swift Netflix documentary “Miss Americana.” And for the first time in decades, the annual ski town festival is kicking off without a few opening words from its founder, Robert Redford. Sundance is forgoing its traditional opening day press conference where Redford has presided since the 1980s.
