AMC Loews Lincoln Square, January 9, 8:05 p.m.

Steve Buscemi is still the toast of the festival, even if he understands that it’s not really about him anymore.

Local stars (and would-be stars) to watch out for.

This year in Sundance sex-shock cinema.

Premiering at Sundance, Cassavetes’s first feature, Broken English, follows the love life of a thirtysomething New Yorker, played by indie queen Parker Posey.

Farmiga, first buzzed-about at Sundance ’04 with Down to the Bone, just appeared in The Departed, and she stars in two Sundance premieres: Joshua, a psychological thriller, and Never Forever, an interracial love story.

The daughter of RFK discusses her new documentary, Ghosts of Abu Ghraib.

When festivalgoers roll in for the opening-night film January 18, they’ll be greeted with Brett Morgen’s Chicago 10, a documentary about the events around the turbulent 1968 Democratic National Convention. Not to be outdone, closing night will feature Nelson George’s HIV drama, Life Support.

Movies buzz and backlash report.

Tears of the Black Tiger is a mind-blowing (literally) mash-up of a movie. Plus: Playgirl bunny Renée Zellweger.
