2005 Sundance Film Festival
Building on a long tradition of presenting international films, the Sundance Film Festival launched its World Cinema Competition in 2005 with features including TONY TAKITANI to BROTHERS, and documentaries ranging from GRIZZLY MAN to SHAKE HANDS WITH THE DEVIL: THE JOURNEY OF ROMEO DALLAIRE. International films were complemented by a U.S. slate that included ME AND YOU AND EVERYONE WE KNOW, HUSTLE AND FLOW, THE SQUID AND THE WHALE, and THE EMPORER'S JOURNEY which was renamed THE MARCH OF THE PENGUINS when released in the U.S. later that year. For the first time Sundance presented a selection from its Short Film Program online, marking a convergence of the Festival's commitment to short films and its continued efforts to extend the Festival experience to an online audience.

As you use our Online Archives, please understand that the information presented from Festivals, Labs, and other activities is taken directly from official publications from each year. While this information is limited and doesn't necessarily represent the full list of participants (e.g. actors and crew), it is the list given to us by the main film/play/project contact at the time, based on the space restrictions of our publications. Each entry in the Online Archives is meant as a historical record of a particular film, play, or project at the time of its involvement with Sundance Institute. For this reason, we can only amend an entry if a name is misspelled, or if the entry does not correctly reflect the original publication.
