Geoffrey Gilmore Sundance Quotations

Sundance is very much about a spectrum of work. ... This year, it's a festival that feels more independent, that feels less mainstream.

A lot of the people that sent us international work sometimes thought Sundance wasn't a place for them. Now they do. It's exciting to us.

On the occasion of the 25th anniversary of Sundance Institute and the close of the 22nd Sundance Film Festival, we celebrate the winning artists and their films, and have been fortunate to share their stories, diverse voices, and original aesthetics with our Sundance audiences. This year we've seen a number of films that deal sensitively with the timely and complex issues of cultural assimilation and community. Clearly, these compelling stories along with the quality of filmmaking have resonated with audiences and jury members alike.
