The Film Comment Podcast: Sundance 2019 Preview

Published: Jan. 23, 2019, 6:20 p.m.

b'In the calm before the storm, Film Comment Editor-in-Chief Nicolas Rapold sits down with critic and FC contributor Amy Taubin to chat about some of their more eagerly anticipated film from Sundance 2019, opening January 24 and running through February 3. Perhaps appropriately, the conversation begins with films that aren\\u2019t actually in competition, but will be showing as part of Slamdance, the Sundance alternative celebrating its 25th anniversary this year. In addition to Steven Soderbergh\\u2019s High Flying Bird (screening February 7 as part of Film Comment Selects), the two also touch on Beniamino Barrese\\u2019s The Disappearance of My Mother and Nick Broomfield\\u2019s Leonard Cohen documentary, among others. Check back in throughout the next week and half for regular updates from the snow-topped cinemas of Sundance.'
