NEXT <=>: Then, Now and Beyond

The NEXT <=> section at the Sundance Film Festival was created in response to a contemporary wave of filmmaking enlivened by recent technological advances; however it also shares DNA with past trailblazers in film who have always been a huge part of the Festival. In this discussion we explore the similarities and differences of being a NEXT <=> filmmaker today versus the early days of Sundance. Which barricades have been removed and which new ones have arisen? Through this process of exploration we try to determine what’s next for NEXT <=>.

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.
