LOS ANGELES — Comedies, dramas, thrillers and documentaries exploring notable individuals will lead the 2014 Sundance Film Festival non-competitive premieres program, the annual independent film festival said on Monday. The coveted premieres slot, usually reserved for more seasoned directors, will showcase 17 feature films, several of which are by directors who have gained prior success at Sundance. The festival, now in its 30th year, is held in snow-covered ski resort town of Park City, Utah, from Jan. 16-26. The premieres category spotlights feature films and documentaries that often draw bigger names among the acting and directing talent. — Reuters
