Independent Film Trumps Reality

This year's Sundance Film Festival straddled one of the

most important shifts in modern American and world history,

with the Festival kicking off under an Obama presidency and

closing under President Trump. Understandably, Trump talk

was unavoidable in Park City and whilst the films screening

were developed and made before the election, many have

gained a new level of currency in the age of Trump.

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.
