    The local angle
    Every movie in the 2009 Sundance Film Festival is important to somebody.

    For proof, check out this sampling of news items from around the world, each one spotlighting "the local angle" from the slate of Sundance films announced last week:

    • In The Japan Times, the highlight is "The Cove," a documentary about the annual slaughter of thousands of dolphins in a Japanese harbor village.
    • The Canadian press (such as this clip from the Calgary Herald) is talking up four films from the country up north: Documentaries "Nollywood Babylon" and "Prom Night in Mississippi," and dramatic entries "Victoria Day" and "Before Tomorrow."
    • The Jerusalem Post reports on the one Israeli film in the World Cinema Dramatic competition, "Zion and His Brother."
    • A movie made in Kansas, "The Only Good Indian" got a writeup in The Wichita Eagle.
    • The folks who run the website Adoring Amber Heard, dedicated to their favorite young actress ("Pineapple Express," "Never Back Down") and former Maxim cover girl (at left), are excited for "The Informers."
    • The web site Zombie Nation is touting the Norwegian horror movie "Dead Snow," playing in the Park City at Midnight program, about a college ski trip overrun by Nazi zombies.
