#LifeArtImitation, 550 Main St., 2nd Floor
In fiction and documentary, filmmakers wrestle with the means of expressing truth, often the truths that derive from real life, real people, actual events, and memory. How they shape those truths is as reflective of the storyteller as the story. So what’s in a true story? Can warping reality be the truest method of conveying it? Join Sarah Polley (Stories We Tell), Michael Polish (Big Sur), and Sergio Oksman (A Story for the Modlins) with moderator B. Ruby Rich, film critic and culture theorist, for a reflection on how art mirrors life.

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.
