“The scope and scale of this year’s festival – films, events, conversations – were invigorating,” Sundance Institute executive director Keri Putnam said. “I can’t wait to see how our incredible community will leverage these ten days of connection and inspiration to make art and change in the coming year.”
“This festival has been extraordinary,” Sundance Film Festival director John Cooper, said. “It’s been a pleasure to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with these artists, and to see their work charm, challenge and galvanize its first audiences.”
