How do broadcast outlets raise the bar in a TV culture? What are the strategies broadcasters use to develop new audiences and keep viewers tuned in and challenged? Can independent documentary filmmakers effectively challenge the barriers they face in securing airtime for edgy, risky or controversial work? Does the U.S. television landscape vary substantially from its international counterparts? Nick Fraser, Storyville, BBC, UK, probes these issues with some of the top broadcasters today: Sheila Nevins, HBO and Cinemax; John Wilson, PBS; Paola Freccero, Sundance Channel; Catherine Olsen, CBC Newsworld, CA; and Mette Hoffmann Meyer, TV 2, DK.

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.
