2025 Documentary Edit Residency

Sundance Institute launched the inaugural Documentary Edit Residency in 2025; an opportunity for two film teams to be in residence for a week of restoration and experimentation. One film team embedded in the annual Ignite Lab at MassMOCA from June 23–27 and a second film team was invited to spend a week at the Jacob Burns Film Center campus in Pleasantville, New York, from August 17–22.

The films supported through this initiative are embracing new forms of storytelling and finding new language to express personal truths. They are part of a lineage of nonfiction that emerges when an artist explores an internal landscape rather than trying to make sense of an unfamiliar landscape.

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.
