Stewart says Sundance for 'film nerds,' Remembering Bowie

PARK CITY, Utah (AP) — The Associated Press is all over the Sundance Film Festival, which runs through Jan. 31, from its premieres to the Hollywood glitz.

Kristen Stewart says the Sundance Film Festival is for "esoteric film nerds" and that's why it matters.

On the red carpet, she talked about why Sundance celebrates and encourages a variety of story-telling, more so than a mainstream Hollywood production company.

"Yeah I mean there's lots of girls who are in college who are smart who end up doing sex work by choice and enjoy themselves, you know," said Keough at the Sundance Film Festival premiere of the series on Saturday.

Bowie wrote the musical with Irish playwright Enda Walsh as a sequel to the 1963 novel "The Man Who Fell to Earth" by Walter Tevis, which inspired the 1976 film of the same name that he starred in.

The 18 songs in the musical include some of Bowie's biggest hits — such as "Changes," ''Heroes," ''Absolute Beginners" and "Life on Mars" — as well as new songs like "Lazarus," taken from Bowie's latest "Blackstar" album.

Hall says he will return to New York after his Sundance promotional duties are over, when he can get a flight out because of the snowstorm that hit the East Coast.
