In case you haven’t heard, and if you haven’t give yourself a somehow-I-blocked-out-the-noise award, the 2017 Sundance Film Festival is kicking off today. Here’s 30 must-see films you should check out and you can follow all our coverage, reviews, features etc. right here. Some housekeeping notes however and all revolving around film scores. Taking a tour through the line-up you’ll find many interesting composers and musicians have penned scores for films. Here’s a quick run-down. The great Jon Brion (“Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind,” “Punch Drunk Love”) has written the score to “Wilson.” It’s the comedy starring Woody Harrelson and is based on Daniel Clowes’ awesome alt comic books. Collaborators and friends Nick Cave and Warren Ellis are always making music outside of regular Bad Seeds records. So much so that you wonder where they find the time. The duo, best known for scoring “The Assassination of Jesse James By The Coward Robert Ford,” have written the music to “Wind River,” starring Jeremy Renner and Elizabeth Olsen. Indie rocker Nick Diamonds best known for projects like Islands and the Unicorns has written the film score for the Instagram stalking film, “Ingrid Goes West,” which stars Elizabeth Olsen, and Aubrey Plaza Remember the woozy, ambient instrumental band, Stars Of The Lid (think Brian Eno meets Sigur Ros without the vocals)? Their brainchild Adam Wiltzie has written the music to “Yellow Birds,” an Iraq war drama that stars Tye Sheridan, Jack Huston, Alden Ehrenreich and many more. Mica Levi is quickly becoming the Jonny Greenwood of atonal film scores. Having killed it with “Under The Skin,” and this year with “Jackie,” Liva’s penned the music to Michael Almereyda's “Marjorie Prime” starring Jon Hamm. Actor/writer Zoe Lister-Jones' directorial debut “Band Aid” is completely centered around music. It’s about a bickering married couple that start a band and use their arguments as songwriting inspiration? The artists that wrote the music? Infectious indie-pop outfit Lucius. David Wingo is everywhere and routinely ends up on our year end lists for best score (“Prince Avalanche,” “Midnight Special,” etc.). Like every year. For Sundance 2017 he’s written the music for comedy “Brigsby Bear.” Nashville, Tennessee two-member ambient/post-rock band Hammock wrote the music for “Columbus.” It’s about a man who finds himself stuck in an unusual Midwestern city renowned for its modernist buildings after his dad falls into a coma. The movie stars John Cho, Haley Lu Richardson, Parker Posey and more. Anything we miss? If so, sound off below and happy Sundancing if you’re at the festival. In the meantime, make sure you stayed dialed into all our coverage.
