The collaboration between Wim Wenders and Sam Shepard began more than two decades ago with Paris, Texas (which screens as an archival presentation on Friday, January 26th) and circles back to the present with this year’s Don’t Come Knocking. Wenders, whose fascination with the west extends far beyond these two films to photography, prose and poetry, once noted and Sam Shepard, who was once called “the Playwright Laureate of the West,” have both made such an indelible imprint on our impression of the west, both imagined and real. And yet they are ultimately writers of ‘the family’, and these two films are perfect example. Join these two fascinating artists in a discussion of their collaboration (then and now).

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.
