The '90s could be called the decade of the first person documentary. Films like Complaints of a Dutiful Daughter and Far From Poland mix autobiography with explorations of social issues to reveal a personal yet political documentary genre. Women were at the forefront of this kind of filmmaking; some would even argue that they created it. Now that the '90s are over, is a new genre emerging? How are women making their voices heard as they tackle new global subjects?

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.
