One review in a key market or trade paper has launched a single film as often as it has destroyed one. In the context of independent film, what is the role of the critic? Do critics approach independent films differently than they do studio releases? How should independent filmmakers "pitch" critics? What is the influence and, consequently, what are the responsibilities of the critic toward independent productions? A round-table discussion with a host of noted film critics and writers.

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.
