Town Hall Meeting: Taking Politics Beyond the Screen

While it’s true that a handful of films remain committed to the exploration of overtly political subject matter and a handful of filmmakers speak out on various issues, has the film community itself realized its full potential to be a positive force within our large political landscape. Is film truly a means for change? Has the recent unity of the community over screener bans indicated a potential for activism hitherto unrealized? Join a group of filmmakers and others in a discussion of where film and politics meet on and off the screen.

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.
