Jan. 24 (UPI) -- Charli XCX has three films at the Sundance Film Festival. After the premiere of The Moment Friday, she said she hopes this film, I Want Your Sex and The Gallerist help take her in a new direction from the Brat phenomenon of her 2024 album and subsequent tour.
"I am sort of really wanting that to stop and actually really pivot as far away from it as possible, I think," she said on stage. "That's not because I don't love it."
2024 was coined "Brat Summer" and she is still feeling it. So, she chose acting roles carefully. The Moment is a mockumentary in which Charli XCX plays herself, directed by Aidan Zamiri. Who directed her "360" and "Guess" videos.
I Want Your Sex is a sex comedy from Gregg Araki. The Gallerist is a Cathy Yan thriller set in the art world.
"For all of us as artists, you want to challenge yourself," the singer said. "You want to totally switch the creative soup that you're in and go and live in a different bowl for a while or whatever, just feel enriched by that."
