The festival presents 12 films representing a cross-section of important cinematic works overlooked by audiences, critics and distributors. The films are screened in the 1,500-seat Virginia Theatre, a restored movie palace built in the 1920s. A portion of the festival’s income goes toward on-going renovations at the theatre. The festival brings together the films’ producers, writers, actors and directors to help showcase their work. A film- maker or scholar introduces each film, and each screening is followed by a substantive on-stage Q&A discussion among filmmakers, critics and the audience. In addition to the screenings, the festival hosts a number of academic panel discussions featuring filmmaker guests, scholars and students. The mission of Roger Ebert’s Film Festival is to praise films, genres and formats that have been overlooked.

The Sundance Film Festival will take place January 19 through 29 in Park City, Salt Lake City, Ogden and Sundance, Utah. The complete list of films is available at www.sundance.org/festival. Robert Redford, Founder and President of Sundance Institute remarked, “We are, and always have been, a festival about the filmmakers. So what are they doing? What are they saying? They are making statements about the changing world we are living in. Some are straight-forward, some novel and some offbeat but always interesting. One can never predict. We know only at the end, and I love that.” John Cooper, Director of the Sundance Film Festival, said, “In these challenging economic times, filmmakers have had to be more resourceful and truly independent in their approaches to filmmaking. Looking at this year’s submissions, the result is more fully realized visions and stronger stories; we are proud to see the Festival emerging as a key indicator of the health and creativity of our filmmaking community. The overall quality of the films in the 2012 Competition section will make for an exciting Festival and a remarkable year ahead for independent film audiences everywhere.” For the 2012 Sundance Film Festival, 110 feature-length films were selected, representing 31 countries and 44 first-time filmmakers, including 24 in competition.

First and foremost, my committee members Thomas Schatz and Alisa Perren, who with incisive notes have molded my disparate web of ideas into a legible, linear thesis. My fellow graduate students, who have kept me sane during the COVID-19 pandemic with virtual happy hours and (socially distant) meetups in the park serving as brief respites from the most trying of academic years. In addition, I am grateful to the University of Texas at Austin and the department of Radio-Television-Film in the Moody College of Communications for all of the resources and opportunities they have provided to me. Finally, my parents, who have enough pride on my behalf to trump my doubts. Here’s hoping they don’t find these chapters too mind-numbingly dull. Onward and upward! iv Abstract Artful Scares: A24 and the Elevated Horror Cycle Alexander Joseph Brannan, M.A. The University of Texas at Austin, 2021 Supervisor: Thomas Schatz One notable cycle of production in horror cinema in the 2010s was so-called “elevated horror.” The independent company A24 has contributed heavily to this cycle.
