Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.There's no force quite as unstoppable as Cate Blanchett.
From her Oscar-winning turn in Woody Allen's Blue Jasmine to a jaunt as Bob Dylan in Todd Haynes' I'm Not There; Blanchett remains eminently watchable. And probably one of few performers you could watch 13 different performances from in one film without even blinking an eye.
Blanchett does exactly so in Julian Rosefeldt's Manifesto, a linear cut of his multi-screen film installation from 2015, set to premiere at the Sundance Film Festival.
Each character spouts dialogue which is taken directly some from the art world's most famous manifestos, exploring and contrasting each idea in one space; as Blanchett plays wildly different characters, from a homeless person, a schoolteacher, a TV newscaster, and a grunge-style punk.
The piece was originally commissioned by the Australian Centre for the Moving Image, before its success saw subsequent runs in both Berlin and New York over the course of 2016.
Yahoo! Movies debuted the first trailer for the linear cut of the film, which you can watch below.
Manifesto premieres at the Sundance Film Festival, which runs 19-29 January.
