One of the most striking aspects of John Sayle's work is simply the strident conviction that underlies it. Conviction in the myriad dimensions of character, the complexity of politics and ideas, the rich textures of community and place, and most of all, a conviction in independence. The Return of the Secaucus Seven, Matewan, Passion Fish, City of Hope, Lone Star, Sunshine State, and his newest film, Silver City, which he's currently editing, all have this uncommon force of personality. Here in the Lodge, Sayles talks about making ambitious films on a low budget.

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.
