The New Arrival

Institute History

  • 2001 Sundance Film Festival

Description

As technology advances, new ways of storytelling become available. Clever filmmakers will take these new tools and incorporate them into fresh ideas, such as Amy Talkington has done in The New Arrival, a genuinely interactive film produced for the Web. This device might easily have been little more than a gimmick; however, she manages to make the technology essential to the plot as well as reflexively commenting on the impact of new inventions throughout the ages.

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.
