The Sundance Film Festival has always been a top place to showcase new and exciting movies, and the 2026 event is expected to thrill fans of music-related films. Two much-awaited movies premiering at the festival are Charli XCX’s film “The Moment” and a documentary about rock star Courtney Love.

Charli XCX, famous for her unique take on pop music, often tries new things with different media. Her latest movie, “The Moment,” is set to show off the lively spirit and creativity that fans love about her work. This film goes beyond just being a concert movie; it explores the fleeting moments of inspiration behind her artistic process. Having always pushed the limits of pop music in her career, Charli’s move into filmmaking looks like it will provide a new view on where music meets movies.

The singer Love, who leads the band Hole, is featured in a new documentary about her exciting career and impact on rock music. Known for being bold both on stage and off, her life has been full of big achievements as well as personal challenges. This documentary will give an inside look at how she became popular during the grunge era and turned into a cultural icon today. Her story isn’t just about music; it’s also about staying strong through tough times, dealing with media attention, and expressing herself freely.

This year’s Sundance is going to be great for people who love both movies and music, presenting stories that will stick with viewers even after they finish. According to Pitchfork, these films aren’t just about honoring the artists; they’re also looking into the human experiences behind their creations.
