Here are the late additions to the 2015 Sundance Film Festival slate — including the three titles in the Sundance Kids program, and the Salt Lake City Gala film.

All films produced in the United States, unless otherwise noted.

Premieres:

"A Walk in the Woods" • Robert Redford and Nick Nolte star in this adaptation of Bill Bryson's book, as two long-estranged friends who set out to hike the 2,100-mile Appalachian Trail. The cast also features Emma Thommpson, Mary Steenburgen, Nick Offerman and Kristen Schaal. Directed by Ken Kwapis ("The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants"), with a screenplay by Rick Kerb and Bill Holderman. Salt Lake City Gala.

"True Story" • Jonah Hill stars as Michael Finkel, a disgraced New York Times reporter who meets accused killer Christian Longo (James Franco), who has been living abroad under Finkel's name. Directed by Rupert Goold, who co-wrote with David Kajganich, adapting Finkel's memoir.

Sundance Kids:

The Sundance Film Festival's program for its youngest independent-film fans. Programmed in cooperation with the Tumbleweeds Film Festival for children and youth.

"The Games Maker" • (Argentina/Canada/Italy) Young Ivan Drago (David Mazouz, from "Gotham") finds himself in the fantastic world of game invention, where he encounters the evil inventor Morodian (Joseph Fiennes), who is bent on destroying the city of Zyl. Also starring Ed Asner, Tom Cavanagh, Megan Charpentier and Valentina Lodovini. Written and directed by Juan Pablo Buscarini.

"Operation Arctic" • (Norway) Julia (Kaisa Gurine Antonsen), 13, and her 8-year-old twin siblings Ida and Sindre (Leonora Valestrand Eike and Leonard Valestrand Eike) are left on a deserted island — and must confront winter weather, hungry polar bears, and loneliness in order to survive. Written and directed by Grethe Bøe-Waal.

"Shaun the Sheep" • (U.K.) In this spin-off from Aardman Animation's "Wallace & Gromit" series, Shaun and his flock must go into the big city to rescue their farmer. Written and directed by Richard Starzak and Mark Burton.

Special Events:

"Pioneers Palace B'92" • (Romania) Set in Bucharest just after the fall of the Ceausescu regime, this drama centers on teens who — after being terrified of an AIDS scare when they visit a local brother — open a disco in their high school. The movie, which will have its world premiere as part of the festival's "Art of Film" program, was produced by film students and supported by Mandragora Film Academy and Solar Indie Junction.

New Frontier:

These installations will be featured in "The VR Works of Felix & Paul," a series of live-action virtual reality experiences by artists Félix Lajeunesse and Paul Raphaël in the New Frontier exhibition (in the old Claimjumper restaurant on Park City's Old Main Street). The following descriptions are directly from the Sundance Institute:

"Herders" • "Mongolian pastoral herders are one of the world's last remaining nomadic cultures. For millennia they have lived on the steppes, grazing their livestock on the grasslands. Through a series of virtual reality experiences, the viewer is invited into the reality of a nomadic family of yak herders."

"Strangers with Patrick Watson" • "'Strangers with Patrick Watson' invites the viewer to spend an intimate moment with celebrated Montreal musician Patrick Watson at work in his studio loft on a winter's day." Created by Lajeunesse and Raphaël with artists Chris Lavis and Maciek Szczerbowski.

"Wild: The Experience" • "Fox Searchlight and the Fox Innovation Lab present this virtual reality experience drawing from the film 'Wild.' Viewers enter a fully immersive media environment to join an intimate moment on the Pacific Crest Trail between a woman, Cheryl Strayed (Reese Witherspoon), and her mother, Bobbi (Laura Dern), a vision from the afterlife."

From the Collection:

A movie from The Sundance Collection at UCLA, a film preservation program devoted to independent films.

"Paris is Burning" • Jennie Livingston's landmark 1990 documentary, which takes us inside the black and Latino drag balls of '80s New York — capturing a world of wild celebrations where rival Houses compete for outrageous glory. The screening will feature a DCP of the film's new digital restoration, created from original 16mm elements and restored to its original uncropped aspect ratio. The restoration is a collaboration of the Sundance Institute, the Outfest UCLA Legacy Project and the UCLA Film & Televison Archive, with permission from Miramax.
