Experimentation provides lifeblood to any art form. What is the nature of experimentation in the film world, and the independent film arena in particular? Where is experimentation being practiced, and where does it come from? In the fifties and sixties, independent film was synonymous with the flourishing avant garde. What is the state of the avant garde today? Is the independent realm a place for it? How can independent filmmakers benefit from taking risks? The panel will be moderated by Michael Friend, archive director of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, and features Bill Horrigan, curator of media arts of the Wexner Center at Ohio State University, along with a number of Sundance filmmakers.

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.
