Sundance 2026: New Films From Olivia Wilde, Josephine Decker, Alex Gibney, Gregg Araki, Kogonada, Jay Duplass [Full Lineup]

This will be the last year the Sundance Film Festival will be held in Park City, Utah. It may not be an exaggeration to say that after four decades, festival organizers are making sure the event is ending its Utah era with a bang. This year’s slate includes world premieres from directors such as Josephine Decker (“Chasing Summer”), Olivia Wilde (“The Invite”), Alex Gibney (“Knife: The Attempted Murder of Salman Rushdie”), Gregg Araki (“I Want Your Sex”), Jay Duplass (“See You When I See You”), Liz Garbus (“Give Me The Ball!”), Cathy Yan (“The Gallerist”), Andrew Stanton (“In The Blink of an Eye”), and former U.S. Dramatic Jury Winner, Macon Blair (“The Shitheads”). Oh, and Aidan Zamiri’s mocumentary, “The Moment,” is one of three films at the festival starring Charli XCX. Perhaps the festival has its first new Queen to join the ranks of Parker Posey, Maggie Gyllenhaal, and Kristen Stewart in years?
