Udział w Sundance Film Festival to marzenie wielu twórców. To właśnie w tym miejscu swoje kariery rozpoczynali tacy twórcy, jak Steven Soderbergh, Chloe Zhao, Richard Linklater, Wes Anderson czy Darren Aronofsky. Miłośnicy X Muzy z zapartym tchem spoglądają w kierunku Utah, czekając na nowe talenty i ciekawe spojrzenia na kino. Tegoroczna edycja przyniosła wiele świetnych tytułów, skupiła się na intensywnych międzyludzkich relacjach i dała przestrzeń do eksploracji ludzkiej seksualności. W tym roku na festiwal zostało zgłoszonych 15856 produkcji, z których wybrano aż 111 filmów pełnometrażowych i 64 krótkometrażowe.
W piątkowy wieczór zostały przyznane nagrody. Zobaczcie, na których twórców warto zwrócić uwagę.
