| Enemies Of Happiness won the World Cinema Documentary competition |
Turning its attention increasingly to short film - and announcing a mobile phone project - the daddy of all independent festivals goes from strength to strength. In 2007 122 feature films were selected including 82 world premieres, 24 North American premieres and 10 US premieres, representing 25 countries with nearly 60 first or second-time feature filmmakers.
The Grand Jury Prize Dramatic went to Padre Nuestro - concerning a Mexican immigrant in New York - while the Grand Jury Prize Documentary went to Manda Bala (Send A Bullet) - a documentary equating political corruption in Brazil with street-level violence in Rio. Triumphing in the World Cinema Dramatic and Documentary sections were Sweet Mud (Adama Meshugaat) - a drama about a boy taking care of his mentally ill mum in a Kibbutz - and Enemies Of Happiness (Vores Lykkes Fjender) - about the Afghanistani women redefining a country. Audience Awards went to Grace Is Gone, In The Shadow Of The Moon, Hear And Now and Once. |

David Kaplan talks about his rotoscope-animation of the fairytale, based on a Chinese version of the story, at the Sundance 2007 premiere of the film.
Sundance 2007 : Day Ten
The final day of Eye For Film's coverage leads us to black comedy - The Savages. And the
Awards are dished out.
Sundance 2007 : Day Nine
Sexual deviancy explored, black comedy with Martin Freeman, and the hugely controversial Hounddog.
Sundance 2007 : Day Eight
Van Der Graff generator bedclothes, Away From Her starts the waterworks, and Donovan serenades Eye For Film. (And - IMDB user Rotary Girl, we're not worthy!!)
Sundance 2007 : Day Seven
Eye For Film joins Garth Jennings for a chat, and turns up to the Filmmaker's party. Waitress and Weapons are the movies du jour.
Sundance 2007: Day Six
Outstanding Brit flick Son of Rambow takes the breath away, Nick Broomfield discusses
Ghosts, and Crossing The Line crosses the critics well.
Sundance 2007: Day Five
Cancellations and other disappointments : Anthony Hopkins slipstreams his way into a
muddle, but at least Scotland's own Kate Dickie takes time to chat.
Sundance 2007: Day Four
Domesticated Zombies?! Every bit as uneventful as it sounds - at least Clubland makes up for
it.
Sundance 2007: Day Three
A foolish imperial/metric conversion, and the aptly titled Snow Angels. That, and Freud's retroactive horror film.
Sundance 2007: Day Two

Sundance Film Festival 2007: Day One continued - Press conference
A comparatively calm Robert Redford introduces the latest Sundance Film Festival, the granddaddy of independent film festivals.
Sundance 2007: Day One
Day One : No shrieking children airplane insanity, but bugger us.. it's cold!
