Discovery Process

Researchers and storytellers share a passion for mysteries. They’re compelled by the puzzles of the universe, the natural world, and technological advancement. And yet, answers often come in unexpected ways from surprising places. Join us for a lively exchange between scientists and storytellers as they contemplate what it means to be compelled by seemingly impossible problems . . . for years or even decades. How do inquiring minds begin? And how do breakthroughs happen? Supported by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation. Join filmmakers Diane Bell (Obseledia) and Braden King (Here) and biologist Darcy Kelly, paleontologist Paul Sereno and physicist and science historian Peter Galison with moderator Joe Palca (NPR).

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.
