From the early 1980s to today, the work of a wave of independent women filmmakers has proven to be a case study in diversity. With stories being told about a more varied set of women's experiences, the success of the "movement" seems evident in the dissolution of a singular notion of "women's film." But why has this explosion been contained to indie film? Why are there still so few women filmmakers in mainstream cinema?

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.
