Institute History
Description
Hollow Tree tells the stories of three teenagers coming of age in southeast Louisiana—a parable for climate adaptation worldwide. The teenagers learn about water, water infrastructure, and their own histories in each of their respective homes: a city, the wetlands, and the coast. Their questions— such as “Why does it flood so much here?”—will drive the narrative. In understanding where they are and how this dynamic landscape has been managed and controlled, each teenager develops their own point of view and is able to see water as a vital resource. Together, they re-imagine their futures entwined with their environments.

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.
