#SFFInclusionData
Friday, January 25, 2:00 p.m.–3:30 p.m.
Filmmaker Lodge, 550 Main St. (2nd floor)
Sundance Institute has partnered with the USC Annenberg Inclusion Initiative to publish a groundbreaking analysis of the race and gender of applicants and participants in all Sundance Film Festival programs. How can radical data transparency reveal systemic barriers to inclusion? Join Franklin Leonard (The Black List), Stacy Smith (USC), actor and writer Lena Waithe, Nina Jacobson (Crazy Rich Asians), and Sundance Institute’s Karim Ahmad for a discussion of the data, its relevance to the field, and new models to advance equitable representation in film.
NOTE: Lena Waithe was unable to attend this panel, and Angela Robinson participated instead.

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.
