The nonprofit Sundance Institute announced the addition of two feature films to the current 2025 Sundance Film Festival program, bringing the total feature films at this year’s Festival to 88 projects. The Festival will take place from January 23–February 2, 2025, in person in Park City and Salt Lake City, Utah, with all of the competition films and more available online from January 30–February 2, 2025, for audiences across the country.

The latest feature films world premiering at the upcoming Festival are documentaries The Alabama Solution and The Stringer, both in the Premieres category. Each of the projects are directed by filmmakers who have presented their works at previous editions of the Sundance Film Festival. The Stringer director Bao Nguyen premiered Be Water (2020) and The Greatest Night in Pop (2024), while The Alabama Solution director Andrew Jarecki has brought three projects to the Festival previously: Capturing the Friedmans (2003), Just a Clown (2004), and The Jinx: The Life and Deaths of Robert Durst (2015).

“Adding these two nonfiction features to our robust slate of documentary offerings at the Festival, both told by filmmakers who have been a part of our Sundance community for many years, completes our programming with compelling explorations around justice and truth-telling,” said Kim Yutani, Sundance Film Festival director of programming.
