2022 Adelante Directors Fellowship

The fellowship is a groundbreaking program that supports up-and-coming directors’ professional development, creating a pipeline to uplift independent filmmakers as they grow in their careers and learn more about directing on a series.

There are more than 62 million Latinx people living in the United States, and yet Latinx community members are underrepresented, stereotyped, or degraded in popular culture and entertainment. This unique coalition will help to create more behind-the-camera opportunities for underrepresented voices in order to create more honest, inclusive, and authentic narratives. The Adelante Directors Fellowship, featuring Latina directors, further bridges communities across borders in an attempt to empower underrepresented creatives to control their own stories and create storylines that touch on the diversity of the Latinx experience.

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.
