ABOUT THE FESTIVAL
ABOUT
Founded by Robert Redford in 1981, the Sundance Film Festival is recognized by the industry as the leading festival in the United States. It is organized by the Sundance Institute, a non-profit organization that actively advances the work of independent storytellers in film. Each year, the Sundance Film Festival highlights new trends in independent filmmaking and introduces emerging filmmakers. The festival selects around 120 feature films and 70 short films.
In 2023, two Canadian feature documentaries were selected in competition, THE LONGEST GOODBYE and TWICE COLONIZED, two genre features were programmed in Midnight, INFINITY POOL and MY ANIMAL, and one TV series was part of the Episodic section, THE NIGHT LOGAN WOKE UP. Among the 70 shorts in competition, five were Canadian: THE FLYING SAILOR, THRIVING: A DISSOCIATED REVERIE, BABA, PRO POOL and SIMO.
