Institute History
Description
I have been offered land in Pankisi, Georgia, a valley set against the Caucasus Mountains on the other side of Chechnya, the country where I was born. Although I am an exile, I contemplate building a house in this secluded region, dwelled by Chechen descendants but also known as “the Jihadists’ valley”. How can I inhabit such a place? How to bond with the members of my clan whom I don’t know yet? How can I assert my identity among them?

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.
