The Oscar winners Julianne Moore and Alicia Vikander are two of the four actresses who play the feminist activist Gloria Steinem at different ages in “The Glorias,” an unconventional biopic from the director Julia Taymor. The film will be among the 118 feature-length works at the 2020 Sundance Film Festival, the programmers announced Wednesday. Sundance chose its lineup from 15,100 submissions, a number that included 3,853 feature-length movies. “A lot of our films are ‘of the time’, which has been a long time coming,” John Cooper, the director of the festival, said. “The audience has paved the way for a different kind of indie film: more authentic stories from different cultures and backgrounds.”
