Paul Chan Connects

Director: Paul Chan

Institute History

  • 2007 Sundance Film Festival

Description

Artist Paul Chan has been connecting video artists with political activists who have been sentenced to jail, including Lynne Stewart, Steve Kurtz, Mohammed Yousry, Nobel Peace Prize nominee Kathy Kelly, and Friday Berrigan, the first activist to protest against Guantanamo at Guantanamo. These portraits—causal, intimate, nondidactic—are incredibly important signs of our times.

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.
