King Of Ping Pong won the World Cinema Dramatic Award
Sundance is the daddy of all independent festivals. Run in conjunction with the Sundance Institute - set up by Robert Redford to support independent film - it has continued to develop its brief over the past 22 years. It championed documentary which has resulted in a slew of factual films hitting the multiplex and has recently turned its attention to short film, recently announcing a mobile phone pilot project.
