Filmmakers have long been attracted to the moral realm surrounding discoveries in science and technology. Stories about atomic power, the building of machines, advances in genetics and artificial intelligence, or simply inventions that give us new capabilities, all have the potential to ask moral and philosophical questions about our world. But how does real science work through those same questions—in real time and under a multitude of constraints and pressures? This panel of filmmakers and scientists, supported by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, examines issues of knowledge and ethics in the science that has changed, and will change, our lives.

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.
