It will be the last edition in its longtime home and the first without its founder Robert Redford, who died in September at age 89. But even in this time of transition and change, the festival's main focus - the movies - remains as vibrant and fresh as ever with 90 features premiering through Feb. 1. And three of them feature pop star Charli xcx."

Later in the festival, there will also be a screening of his first truly independent film, the 1969 sports drama "Downhill Racer," and a series of legacy screenings of restored Sundance gems from "Little Miss Sunshine" to Barbara Kopple's documentary "American Dream.""
