History Is Made

From WWII to race relations to civil war and radical counter-cultures, this year’s docs and narratives defy expectation and break the mold of traditional historical storytelling. Hear from extraordinary filmmakers tackling the challenges of bringing the past to life for a new generation. Steven Okazaki (director, White Light/Black Rain), Marco Williams (director, Banished), Bill Guttentag (director, Nanking), Julie Gavras (director, Blame it on Fidel), Newton Aduaka (director, Ezra), and moderator Ian Buruma (author and historian)

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.
