Filmmaker Lodge, 550 Main St. (2nd floor)

Many platforms designed to bring us together have torn us apart. Artists are among those forging new directions in real-world and virtual-world communities by harnessing powerful new technologies with the core values of autonomy, privacy, ownership, and independence. What is the future of the online community, and what promise or illusion does the blockchain offer artists seeking independence? Join Sundance Institute’s Tara Hein-Phillips; former head of YouTube’s top creator partnerships Benjamin Grubbs (CEO of Next 10 Ventures); Amelia Winger-Bearskin (artist/technologist); and writer Logan Hill (co-founder of Dancing Chicken Studios) to find out.

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.
