Sundance Film Festival 101 |
|
The holidays are all about spending time with the ones we love — or carving out some much-needed “me time,” which often includes piling into the living room and turning on a great film. As we reminisce over the last four decades of the Fest, our programmers have compiled a watchlist of 101 epic films that have premiered at the Sundance Film Festival. With nearly 4,000 incredible films to choose from, whittling down the list of movies — from Hairspray to Summer Of Soul (…Or, When The Revolution Could Not Be Televised) — was no small feat. But they hope this impressive watchlist will entertain, tell the story of the Sundance Film Festival, and inspire watch parties galore. |
