The Sundance Film Festival has announced its 2024 lineup, featuring 91 total projects across feature film and episodic program categories. Among the world premieres during the festival — which returns to Park City and Salt Lake City from January 18th through 28th — are documentaries about Brian Eno, DEVO, and the history of Lollapalooza.
Directed by Gary Hustwit, the simply titled Eno will premiere as part of the New Frontier section. The first authorized documentary about the pioneering ambient musician features hundreds of hours of never-before-seen footage, unreleased music from Eno’s archive, and visual art.
Meanwhile, DEVO was directed by Chris Smith and utilizes “a mixture of archival footage, interviews from other characters in their orbit, and a range of storytelling techniques” to tell the band’s story starting from their origins in response to the Kent State massacre through their rise to fame with the 1980 hit “Whip It.”
Announced earlier this year, Lolla: The Story of Lollapalooza will premiere as part of the Episodic section. The three-part docuseries directed by Michael John Warren explores the history of the Chicago music festival, founded in 1991 by Jane’s Addiction’s Perry Farrell.
Other music documentaries premiering at Sundance next year include As We Speak, Bronx rapper Kemba’s exploration of the use of rap lyrics in court in the US criminal justice system and abroad; a Luther Vandross doc titled Luther: Never Too Much; and Kneecap, the story of the Irish rap trio of the same name.
