The latest round of programming announcements for the upcoming 2019 Sundance Film Festival has been revealed, bolstering the line-up to an impressive 117 feature films, 45 of which were directed by one or more women.

The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind has been named the festival’s Alfred P. Sloan prize winner, while two alumni films, The Hours and Times and The Blair Witch Project from “the collection” will screen as special retrospective screenings. The Blair Witch Project’s screening will mark the 20th anniversary of the film’s premiere at the festival in 1999, an event that ultimately lead to a national cinematic sensation and debate over whether the events depicted in the film were actually true. To dispell some of those beliefs, the film’s cast will be in attendance for the anniversary screening
