The 30th annual Sundance Film Festival, scheduled for Jan. 16 to 26 in Park City, Utah, will showcase 117 movies in a dozen categories, including the rare one aimed at children. That breadth ensures enormous cinematic diversity: The festival includes a drama starring Kristen Stewart as a reluctant prison guard (“Camp X-Ray”)

I'm really excited about this! Also, it's playing in San Francisco, on January 30th. I'm hoping that the fans go out and see it.

Camp X-ray A hot ticket, not just because of the film’s lead actress, Kristen Stewart of “Twilight” fame, but because of the film’s premise: A new guard at Guantanamo Bay (Ms. Stewart) befriends a detainee (Payman Maadi). Ms. Stewart created word clouds and spoken word poetry as a way to develop her character, says the film’s writer-director Peter Sattler. “I think Kristen and I were both aware of her image and upending expectations for that image. This is a side of her that I don’t think anyone else has seen yet,” he said.
