A new Eli Roth film featuring Keanu Reeves, a pair of Oscar foreign-language contenders and a collection of 60 one-minute films have been added to the lineup at the 2015 Sundance Film Festival, the Sundance Institute announced on Thursday.
Those films make up part of the Spotlight, Park City at Midnight programs and the New Frontier film and installation programs.
The festival's main competition films were announced on Wednesday.

Spotlight films include Yann Demange's “'71,” which features Jack O'Connell as a young British soldier trying to survive during a harrowing night on the violent streets of Belfast in 1971; Ramin Bahrani's “99 Homes,” with Andrew Garfield, Michael Shannon and Laura Dern; Claudia Llosa's “Aloft,” with Jennifer Connelly and Cillian Murphy; and two acclaimed Oscar foreign-language entries, Kornel Mundruczo's “White God” and Damian Szifron's “Wild Tales.”
The Park City at Midnight section contains eight tales of horror, including Eli Roth's “Knock Knock,” with Keanu Reeves as a married man whose life is upended by two seductive young girls. Other entries include Jon Watts’ “Cop Car,” with Kevin Bacon; Bruce McDonald's “Hellions,” about rampaging trick or treaters; David Robert Mitchell's “It Follows,” which screened in Cannes; and Rodney Ascher's “The Nightmare,” a horror documentary about sleep paralysis.
The adventurous New Frontier Films program includes Guy Maddin and Evan Johnson's “The Forbidden Room”; Doug Aitken's “Station to Station,” which consists of 60 separate one-minute films; and Jenni Olson's “The Royal Road,” a California travelogue that mixes the Spanish colonization of the state with Alfred Hitchock's “Vertigo.”

Another aspect of the New Frontier program is new-media installations, including those that deal with the 1979 Iranian revolution, violence against children in Syria, death squads in Chile, and a number of virtual-reality experiences, from flying to a monster attack.
The 2015 Sundance Film Festival will run from Jan. 22 to Feb. 1 in Park City, Utah.
