Description

A medical examiner in Los Angeles conducts a tour of his profession, complete with its emotional and philosophical underpinnings.

PROGRAM THREE

Making sense is a defining activity of humankind (not just filmmakers!) and is done in innumerable ways, as these exciting films attest. With a consistent urgency, these narrative and documentary works-and their subjects-strive to discover, appreciate, share, and manipulate life's meaning, be it transcendent or absurd. The exhilarating journey of a stone thrown in anger, the existential experience of a murder investigation, and the richer Jess off life behind bars are among the unique observations in this rewarding program.

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.
