| Mary And Max opened the festival |
The daddy of all independent festivals reaches its quarter century in 2009. Run in conjunction with the Sundance Institute - set up by Robert Redford to support independent film - it has continued to develop its brief. It championed documentary which has resulted in a slew of factual films hitting the multiplex and has recently turned its attention to short film.
The 2009 edition will open with the world premiere of claymation film Mary And Max.
Got a feature or short film screening at Sundance 2009 and want us to review it? Or have you an event we should attend? Feel free to get in touch with us.
