Public Funding And Media Arts

Public media funding, although somewhat enigmatic from the outside, has generally operated within a consistent set of policies and guidelines, impervious to changes in staff or government administration. But now, ill the stark light of a difficult political climate, is this changing? Representatives of four major national and regional funders -the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, Public Broadcasting Service, New York State Council on the Arts and the National Endowment for the Humanities-will come together to present their programs and discuss agendas amidst what many have called a "crisis" of arts policy and politics.

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.
