Wagons Roll

Director: Kelly Richardson

Institute History

  • 2009 Sundance Film Festival

Description

Kelly Richardson uses cinematic language to create part-real, part-imagined landscapes that provoke audiences to participate in storytelling while offering visual metaphors for our modern "reality"—a wavering hybrid of fact and fiction.

In Wagons Roll, a car hangs portentously in midair against a mountainous landscape with a plume of dust shooting from its rear. Viewers can only guess what events led to these peculiar situations, or what horrible or miraculous conclusions will follow.

Commissioned by ISIS Arts (Newcastle, United Kingdom).

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.
