  • Sundance Do-Overs: When the Buzz Turns to Fizzle

    The Sundance Film Festival, America's largest and arguably most influential showcase for independent movies, has just wrapped up its twenty-fifth, or thirtieth or eighteenth, installment, depending on who's counting. The earliest version of Sundance, the Utah/US Film Festival, was first held in Salt Lake City in September of 1978. From the ...

  • Smells Like Indie Spirit: Our Favorite Sundance Movies Of All Time (Part One)

    Like Saturday Night Live, people never get tired of complaining about the Sundance Film Festival, comparing it unfavorably to its glory days of yore...and yet, just as Lorne Michaels’ 34-season comedy juggernaut (despite decades of grumbling and reports of its imminent demise) has and continues to spawn everything from the Blues Brothers ...

  • Screengrab at Sundance: Half Full and All That...

    Screengrab editor emeritus Bilge Ebiri reports from the frontlines of Park City. I’ve already discussed the fact that I consider this year’s Sundance lineup to be an exceptionally strong one. And many of the discussions I’ve had with other critics have confirmed this. There have been a couple of notable sales: Antonie Fuqua's operatic cop ...

  • Sundance Roundup: Day One

    The 2009 Sundance Film Festival kicked off last night with Robert Redford’s traditional opening address. Predictably, Redford (looking like no kind of Sundance Kid these days) fielded a number of questions on the topic of the economic downturn’s potential effect on the festival. He used the opportunity to take a few shots at the outgoing ...

  • Screengrab at Sundance: Slamdance

    Screengrab editor emeritus Bilge Ebiri reports from the frontlines of Park City. I’ve always felt guilty about not doing enough coverage of Slamdance, the underdog cousin to Sundance that runs in Park City around the same time. It often shows excellent films – especially in the shorts department – and is staffed by cheerful, enthusiastic ...

  • Sundance Preview: Ten Must-See Narrative Features (Part One)

     Yesterday we looked at five documentaries I deemed “must-sees” based on their descriptions in the Sundance guide, their trailers (if available) and my own whims and biases. As I mentioned, I will not actually be attending the 2009 Sundance Film Festival, but why should that minor detail prevent me from having an opinion? With any luck I’ll ...

  • Sundance of Death

    The 2008 Sundance Film Festival, the thirtieth annual mass screening on the slopes, opens on January 18, which means that we are fast approaching a yearly ritual near and dear to the hearts of all serious filmlovers — the annual blossoming of critical think pieces arguing that Sundance has "sold out," that "the magic is gone", ...

  • Slamdance 2008

    The Sundance Film Festival has wrapped for the year, which means it's also time to check for survivors in the debris at its snaggle-toothed cousin, the Slamdance Film Festival. Begun in 1995 by a posse of spirited malcontents who were relative pioneers in the growing field of regarding Sundance as compromised and cut off from the ...

  • Smells Like Indie Spirit: Our Favorite Sundance Films Of All Time (Part Five)

    SLACKER (1991) & CLERKS (1994) I was struggling to extricate myself from college and move from Boston to L.A. when Richard Linklater's Slacker premiered at the Sundance Film Festival, reminding me that filmmaking wasn't just about Hollywood, but instead happened whenever and wherever a bunch of motivated creative types could ...
