Institute History
Description
Filmmaker Gary Farmer doesn’t stop. Addressing themes that have profound meaning and real value, Farmer returns to Sundance for the fourth time with his film, What the Eagle Hears. The film tells the stories of three First Nations women whose lives are challenged by physical disabilities, abuse, personal tragedy, and disillusionment. Farmer’s treatment of these women’s stories is woven through poetic imagery, personal testimony, and visceral composition. The film documents their healing journey and may, in some manner, contribute to the strength of their survival through the process of self-reflection.

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.
