Certainly it was a popular Sundance topic last year, popping  up in titles ranging from the universally beloved (Ben Lewin&#8217;s &#8220;The  Sessions,&#8221; then titled &#8220;The Surrogate&#8221;) to the intensely controversial  (Craig Zobel&#8217;s &#8220;Compliance&#8221;).<\/p>\n<p>Bizzers will hit Park City, Utah,  hoping to find similarly hot titles among the 113 features (98 of them  world premieres) set to screen at the festival, which runs Jan. 17-27.  Above all, they&#8217;ll be on the lookout for a runaway critical\/audience hit  on the level of &#8220;Beasts of the Southern Wild,&#8221; which, along with  several other Sundance 2012 selections  &#8212;  including &#8220;Keep the Lights  On,&#8221; &#8220;Sound of My Voice,&#8221; Safety Not Guaranteed&#8221; and &#8220;Middle of Nowhere&#8221;   &#8212;  has recently drawn kudos buzz via the Gotham Awards and the  Independent Spirit Award nominations.<\/p>\n<p>Cooper and Groth said they  hoped potential buyers would be willing to take chances on a wider range  of films, based on the diversity of the 2012 batch and the increasing  number of distribution options available. Two high-profile Sundance  pickups from earlier this year, Lionsgate\/Roadside Attractions&#8217;  &#8220;Arbitrage&#8221; and Radius-TWC&#8217;s &#8220;Bachelorette,&#8221; have made significant sums  from simultaneous VOD releases.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;My least favorite thing to hear  at the festival is &#8216;I loved that film, but I don&#8217;t know what to do with  it,'&#8221; Cooper said. &#8220;Hopefully now, if people love a film, they can  figure out how to connect with audiences. I think audiences&#8217; appetites  are expanding.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>As usual, documentaries can be expected to draw  much of the attention, and Cooper noted that the 2013 slate is as  politically engaged as ever. The nationwide income gap, such a prevalent  topic during the recent election, is touched on by two U.S. documentary  competition entries, &#8220;Inequality for All&#8221; and &#8220;99%: The Occupy Wall  Street Collaborative Film.&#8221; That section also includes films addressing  subjects such as late-term abortion (&#8220;After Tiller&#8221;), GOP politics  (&#8220;Citizen Koch&#8221;) and the war on terror (&#8220;Dirty Wars,&#8221; &#8220;Manhunt&#8221;).<\/p>\n<p>As  the economy shows tentative signs of recovery, Cooper said it was &#8220;a  very optimistic time&#8221; for filmmakers, noting not only the thriving level  of production, as reflected in the high volume of submissions this year  (12,146 features and shorts), but also the increasing number of actors  and below-the-line artists flocking to the independent realm. Even  budgets seemed a bit bigger than usual, he said. Another notable theme:  eight of the 16 dramatic competition titles are helmed by women.<\/p>\n<p>The  dramatic competition includes several Sundance alums: Shane Carruth, a  2004 grand jury prize winner for &#8220;Primer,&#8221; will bring his  long-anticipated sophomore feature, &#8220;Upstream Color&#8221;; Cherien Dabis  (&#8220;Amreeka&#8221;) will compete with &#8220;May in the Summer&#8221;; Lynn Shelton  (&#8220;Humpday&#8221;) returns with &#8220;Touchy Feely&#8221;; and James Ponsoldt, at Sundance  earlier this year with &#8220;Smashed,&#8221; already has a follow-up, &#8220;The  Spectacular Now.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The edgy Next sidebar, distinguished by &#8220;an  innovative, forward-thinking approach to storytelling,&#8221; will unspool 10  titles, up from eight earlier this year. Among them are &#8220;Computer  Chess,&#8221; the latest from mumblecore maven Andrew Bujalski, and &#8220;I Used to  Be Darker,&#8221; the third feature from &#8220;Putty Hill&#8221; writer-director Matthew  Porterfield.<\/p>\n<p>In keeping with recent tradition, the festival will  forego a single opening-night film and kick off with screenings of four  competition titles: &#8220;May in the Summer&#8221; (dramatic), Morgan Neville&#8217;s  &#8220;Twenty Feet From Stardom&#8221; (docu), Sebastian Silva&#8217;s &#8220;Crystal Fairy&#8221;  (World Cinema dramatic) and Marc Silva&#8217;s &#8220;Who Is Dayani Cristal?&#8221; (World  Cinema docu). A shorts program will also screen on day one.<\/p>\n<p>The  festival will announce its Spotlight, Park City at Midnight and New  Frontier titles Thursday, while Premieres and Documentary Premieres  lineups will be unveiled Monday.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Official Lineup:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #b11117;\">DRAMATIC COMPETITION <\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #b11117;\">The 16 films in this section are world premieres and, unless otherwise noted, are from the U.S. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>&#8220;Afternoon Delight&#8221; <\/strong> &#8211;  <strong>Directed and written by Jill Soloway.
