Jennifer Lopez's " Kiss of the Spider Woman " and Benedict Cumberbatch's " The Thing With Feathers " are highlights of the U.S. film industry's first big gathering since fires devastated Los Angeles .

Festival chiefs held lengthy talks with filmmakers, including those "who lost homes or were displaced" by the blazes, said Sundance director Eugene Hernandez .

Organizers heard "harrowing stories of people running out of their homes, evacuating... with their hard drives under their arms" to ensure their films survived, he said.
