Víťazi nezávislého festivalu v Sundance

Tento ročník slávneho festivalu nezávislého filmu Sundance sa uskutočnil v dňoch 23. januára až 2. februára v amerických mestách Park City, Salt Lake City, Ogden a Sundance. Vo výbere pre návštevníkov a porotu bolo veľké množstvo ako hraných, tak dokumentárnych filmov. Viacero titulov si tu odbilo aj svetovú premiéru. Nejde iba o prehliadku bohatej ponuky amerického nezávislého filmu, ale možnosť upútať pozornosť divákov, distribútorov a poroty majú tvorcovia z celého sveta. Poďme sa spoločne pozrieť na víťazov v jednotlivých kategóriách a dúfajme, že niektoré z týchto diel sa dostane buď do ponuky našich artových kín, alebo aspoň na DVD/BD, či na niektorú zo streamovacích služieb.
