The Sundance Film Festival kicks off today in Park City, Utah — 11 days of independent filmmakers screening, paneling, dealmaking and partying in the snow. In addition to Sundance’s Cinema Café gatherings, which pick up Friday along with other festival panels, several independent venues will host stars and creators with projects from the fest and beyond. And Outfest, which has hosted a Queer Brunch at the fest for more than 20 years, is expanding programming around that Jan. 26 event. The film hits theaters and Netflix on Jan. 31 and promises to reveal details of Swift’s feud with Kanye West and her surprising move into politics in an intimate portrait of the 30-year-old powerhouse. “Bad Hair” is among the more anticipated market titles at the fest.
