The films that will take part in the 33rd Annual Sundance Film Festival for U.S. Dramatic and Documentary Competition, Next and more categories have been announced. Among movies making their world premieres at the festival are Matt Spicer's "Ingrid Goes West", a comedy about social media stalker starring Aubrey Plaza and Elizabeth Olsen, and Marti Noxon's "To the Bone", a film about a girl who struggles with anorexia starring Lily Collins and Keanu Reeves.

"I haven't seen a fiction film that captures the issues around eating disorders so accurately and so humanely, and I think that for young people going through similar things," director of programming Trevor Groth told Variety. "A film like this can have a real healing power."

Other films joining "Ingrid Goes West" and "To the Bone" in U.S. Dramatic Competition include "Brigsby Bear" starring Mark Hamill, "Golden Exits", "Landline", "Walking Out" starring Matthew Bomer and Alexandre Moors' "The Yellow Birds", a war drama starring Alden Ehrenreich and Tye Sheridan about two young soldiers navigating the terrors of the Iraq war.

Meanwhile, sixteen films are set to screen in the Documentary Competition. They are Kitty Green's "Casting JonBenet", Jeff Orlowski's "Chasing Coral", Matthew Heineman's "City of Ghost", Dan Sickles and Antonio Santini's "Dina", Peter Bratt's "Dolores", Pete Nicks' "The Force", Bryan Fogel's "Icarus" and Adam Bhala Lough's "The New Radical" among others.

"We were watching films showing the other side - an intimate, more personal side of people's lives," festival director John Cooper said. "In the end, it gives me great encouragement and optimism, even with everything happening out there. The work we're seeing this year adds so much dimension. It's really the human side. Giving the whole story of who we are is really important to the world."

The 2017 Sundance Film Festival will run on January 19-29. The full list can be found on the festival's official website.
