Initially displayed as a multi-screen art installation, Julian Rosefeldt’s Manifesto will debut as a 90-minute feature in Sundance’s Premiere program. In it, Cate Blanchett plays 13 different roles meant to represent various artistic movements.

The synopsis is definitely intriguing, though it leaves plenty of questions as to how the feature version of the German video artist’s work will be cut together. Also unclear is if Blanchett will only be nominated for awards in the Best Actress category, or if she’ll be nominated five times for supporting roles.

Can history’s art manifestos apply to contemporary society? An homage to the twentieth century’s most impassioned artistic statements and innovators, from Futurists and Dadaists to Pop Art, Fluxus, Lars von Trier and Jim Jarmusch, this series of reenactments performed by Cate Blanchett explores these declarations’ performative components and political significance.
