Sundance Film Festival Logo
The Festival’s Frontier section presents five films that represent new directions in filmmaking and Frontier Live, a live cinematic performance program - this year's was Our Second Date by artists Jennifer and Kevin McCoy, described as "a miniature movie set geared for live robotic cinema that puts the production, post-production, and exhibition of a film all in one room".

Utilising experimental and innovative aesthetic approaches, work in the Frontier category challenges and provokes.
