2011 Sundance Docs in Focus

With the 2011 Sundance Film Festival less than a month away, I’m going to begin offering brief looks at the feature-length documentaries in the line-up, a couple or more a day, until I’ve hopefully gone through them all before the festival begins, time permitting. These aren’t reviews – as a Documentary Programming Associate for the festival, of course I encourage you to see all of these films! The purpose of this series of posts is to present each of the docs in focus, provide some additional information and thoughts about why you should see them, and put them on your radar if you’re heading to Park City or to other festivals at which they will go on to screen. I’ll begin later today with BEING ELMO: A PUPPETEER’S JOURNEY.
