Ejiofor, the actor best known for _12 Years a Slave_, may be in the festival’s most-anticipated film, the post-apocalyptic drama _Z for Zachariah_; he plays one of two male survivors of a cataclysmic disaster competing for the affections of what may be the last woman on earth. (The other stars are Chris Pine, in the midst of a mini-career-renaissance that includes _Into the Woods_, and _The Wolf of Wall Street_ star Margot Robbie.) Films joining _Zachariah_ in the U.S. dramatic competition include _I Smile Back_, starring Sarah Silverman as a depressed suburban mother; _Results_, the “mumblecore” director Andrew Bujalski’s take on personal training; and Billy Crudup and Ezra Miller in a dramatization of _The Stanford Prison Experiment_. The world cinema dramatic competition features Kidman in _Strangerland_, an Australian film about the disappearance of two teenagers in the desert, as well as Vincent Cassel in _Partisan_, about a father-son duo in which the son is a trained assassin. Meanwhile, the documentary competition features looks at the lives of peace activist Barry Crimmins (_Call Me Lucky_), of AIDS activist Larry Kramer (_Larry Kramer in Love and Anger_), and of restaurant critic Jonathan Gold (_City of Gold_). The full slate can be found [here](http://www.sundance.org/blogs/news/us-world-and-next-films-announced-for-2015-festival). Sundance is famous as a launching-pad for independent films: This year, _Obvious Child_, _The Skeleton Twins_, _Whiplash_, and _Love is Strange_, among others, all screened at the festival; past acquisitions from the fest have included Oscar-nominated films like _Beasts of the Southern Wild, Winter’s Bone_, and _Man on Wire._ While we’ll have to wait to see how the films are received, anyone looking for a breakout star at the 2015 festival could look no farther than Kristen Wiig, who’s had mixed success redefining herself as a seriocomic actress since _Bridesmaids._ Wiig’s two projects at the festival, the period tale _The Diary of a Teenage Girl_ and _Nasty Baby_, about a gay couple enlisting their female friend to have a child, both have promise that could evaporate into a puff of quirk, or could result in the sort of breakout Sundance has a history of enabling. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3617928/sundance-2015-slate-sarah-silverman/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3617928/sundance-2015-slate-sarah-silverman/"},"headline":"Sundance 2015 Slate Features Sarah Silverman, Chris Pine and More","datePublished":"2014-12-04T16:04:21.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-22T02:34:29.160Z","description":"The Utah festival has announced its slate for next year","url":"https://time.com/3617928/sundance-2015-slate-sarah-silverman/","keywords":["movies","Sundance","Kristen Wiig","Sarah Silverman","Nicole Kidman"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt9d15fa7bf7a072b3/69876c95428a9e069ecc5cdf/ap829814820752.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Daniel D'Addario","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/daniel-daddario/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt9d15fa7bf7a072b3/69876c95428a9e069ecc5cdf/ap829814820752.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Sarah Silverman","caption":"Sarah Silverman","creditText":"Richard Shotwell—Richard Shotwell/Invision/AP","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/movies/","name":"movies"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3617928/sundance-2015-slate-sarah-silverman/","name":"Sundance 2015 Slate Features Sarah Silverman, Chris Pine and More"}}]}] ```
