Charli xcx, Natalie Portman and Salman Rushdie lead 2026 Sundance lineup
"Charli xcx will be seen in three films premiering at the 2026 festival, led by The Moment, a mockumentary where she plays a version of herself. It's not a tour documentary or a concert film in any way, but the seed of the idea was conceived from this idea of being pressured to make one, she has said of the film. It also stars Rachel Sennott, Alexander Skarsgard, Kate Berlant and Kylie Jenner."
"She will also appear alongside Portman in dark comedy thriller The Gallerist. The film centres on a gallerist trying to sell a dead man at Miami's Art Basel. It's co-written and directed by Cathy Yan, whose last film was DC spin-off Birds of Prey. The cast also includes Jenna Ortega, Sterling K Brown, Da'Vine Joy Randolph, Catherine Zeta-Jones and Zach Galifianakis."
"The singer's third film is I Want Your Sex, an erotic thriller from Mysterious Skin director Gregg Araki, marking his first film since 2014. It stars Cooper Hoffman as a young man who starts working for a provocative artist, played by Olivia Wilde, and soon finds himself in a world of sex, obsession, power, betrayal, and murder, according to the synopsis."
The 2026 Sundance Film Festival will take place in Park City, Utah, before the festival relocates to Boulder, Colorado in 2027. The festival has launched major breakout films over the years, including Get Out, Four Weddings and a Funeral, The Blair Witch Project, Past Lives, Napoleon Dynamite, Precious and Little Miss Sunshine. Charli XCX appears in three premieres: The Moment, a mockumentary in which she plays a version of herself; The Gallerist, a dark comedy thriller featuring Natalie Portman; and I Want Your Sex, an erotic thriller directed by Gregg Araki. Olivia Wilde also premieres The Invite. Salman Rushdie heads up a strong section of documentary premieres.
