New War Stories

The “war reporter” is almost a mythic figure with a long lineage in print, but a new kind of war reporting is emerging in film, mixing journalism and storytelling to produce some extraordinary viewing experiences. Join Sebastian Junger and Tim Hetherington (Restrepo), Amir Bar-Lev (The Tillman Story), Andrei Nekrasov ( Russian Lessons), Mohamed Al-Daradji (Son of Babylon) and moderator Lynne Kirby in this exploration of war as an inspiration for a new wave of impassioned storytelling.

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.
