Talking about Black Film at this year’s Festival means talking about more than a dozen very distinct perspectives. The diversity of aesthetics, subject matter, and representations sets these films apart from the market-driven, genre-oriented films that have succeeded with mainstream audiences. Has there been a more focused move by African American filmmakers away from the mainstream and toward independent film companies and distributors? A panel of Festival filmmakers talk about the various paths they took in making their films.

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.
